This article discusses how to make AWS Signature Version 4 requests using curl for API Gateway endpoints configured with AWS IAM authorization. By utilizing curl's native support for AWS SigV4, users can seamlessly integrate HTTP requests with the necessary authentication. The example provided includes using the curl command with the specified URL pointing to a custom domain linked to an API Gateway. Additionally, the --user argument is used to pass the AWS access key ID and secret access key associated with the IAM user. It is highlighted that the AWS service identifier for invoking an API Gateway is execute-api, and the complete provider string format is required for curl requests. This method simplifies the process of interacting with AWS services securely through curl commands.
