+Wiring to an API endpoint
+=========================

+Begin by navigating to your `AWS Lambda management console <https://console.aws.amazon.com/lambda/>`_ and clicking on your function. Click the API Endpoints tab and click "Add API endpoint".
+
+Under API endpoint type select "API Gateway".
+
+Next change Method to ``POST`` and Security to "Open" and click submit (NOTE: you should secure this for use in production, open security is use for demo purposes).
+
+Now try and run:
