RequestBin-Lambda

WARNING This is not production-ready code and is not supported by IOpipe.

RequestBin service based on AWS Lambda.

Live-coded on the IOpipe Twitch Channel!

Setup

Install dependencies/tools

RequestBin's deps are documented in package.json. You'll also need to install the serverless framework as a build tool.

npm i
sudo npm i -g serverless

You'll want to change the IOpipe access token on line 13 of serverless.yml with your access token (Log in if you don't see your access token).

Deploy via sls

Create an s3 bucket called {your_app_name}-requestbin and give the lambdas deployed by this project permission to PUT objects into those buckets as well as GET them. Then, set the environment variable in serverless.yml on line 12 called custom.bucket to the same name.

Make sure you've configured your AWS login with serverless framework, then:

sls deploy

Configure CloudFront Distribution

Create CloudFront Distribution

Specify S3 Bucket as Origin-- this is done in the wizard when creating CloudFront Distribution.

Edit Behavior

Associate Lambda Function for Viewer Request-- you'll use an ARN with an exact version number to associate.

Making Requests

Get a RequestBin:

curl your-lambda-domain/geturl

This will return JSON in the following format:

{
  requestTo: "<https url>",
  requestFrom: "<https url>",
  requestFromToken: "<Bearer Token for Authorization Header>",
  requestFromCurl: "<curl command that uses requestFrom url and bearer token>"
}

Use the RequestBin:

1. Send request to requestTo url.
2. Run the requestFromCurl command.

If desiring to build an API consumer, make an HTTP GET request from the requestFrom url using an Authorization: Bearer <requestFromToken> header.
