Need help with Amplify CLI API: POST request not working in Postman

[wild wedge]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to using Amplify CLI and I'm having some trouble with my API. I have created an API with a Lambda function that retrieves data using a GET request, and another Lambda function that inserts data into my database using a POST request.

When I run amplify mock function CreateItem, it successfully inserts data into my database. However, when I try to test the POST request using Postman, nothing happens. Do I need to create another API? Also, I couldn't find an option to choose a POST request when creating an API using the Amplify CLI.

I would appreciate any help or guidance on this issue. Thank you!

Hey 👋 by default routes creating with amplify add|update api allow any HTTP method, unless specified otherwise in an override. When you're attempting to test in Postman are you calling the deployed API endpoint? Does it return a response at all?
