#How to add existing REST API to Amplify?

I'm trying to use an existing (and working) API Gateway REST API with Amplify. From what I read, all that is needed is adding an API directive to Amplify.configure(). So, I tried the following in my _app.js file:

import awsconfig from '../src/aws-exports';
Amplify.configure(
    {
        ...awsconfig, ssr: true,
        API: {
            endpoints: [
                {
                    name: "DanzanRyuAPI",
                    endpoint: "https://ufr7cpns3i.execute-api.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/test",
                }
            ]
        }
    }
);

Unfortunately, I get the following error: error Error: API DanzanRyuAPI does not exist

What am I doing wrong?
TIA,

@sweet ibex I ended up doing something like this:

Amplify.configure(
    {
        API: {
            endpoints: [
                {
                    name: "KilohanaInstructorsAPI",
                    endpoint: "https://xxxxxxxx.execute-api.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/prod1",
                    region: "us-west-1",
                    custom_header: async () => {
                        return {Authorization: 'token'};
                    }
                }
            ]
        },
        ...awsconfig, ssr: true,
    }
);
#

The above works

I want to do it without CLI

#

but

This is without the cli. It's a rest API. I have a lambda function that lives on AWS that interfaces with a cognito.

const amplifyconfig = '''{
  "auth": {
    "plugins": {
      "awsCognitoAuthPlugin": {
        "CognitoUserPool": {
          "Default": {
            "PoolId": "xxxx",
            "AppClientId": "xxx",
            "Region": "xx-xx-1"
          }
        },
        "Auth": {
          "Default": {
            "OAuth": {
              "WebDomain": "xx.xx.com",
              "AppClientId": "xx",
              "SignInRedirectURI": "authRedirectPath",
              "SignOutRedirectURI": "authSignOutPath",
              "Scopes": [
                "email",
                "openid",
                "profile",
                "aws.cognito.signin.user.admin"
              ]
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}''';```
#

This is mine right now

#

But, I do not know what to put on SignInRedirectURI

#

Like, I want the user to sign in using Google that then is authenticated by my cognito thing on aws

Sorry, I'm confused about what you're trying to do. I don't necessarily disagree with what your definitions are, I just don't understand what you're trying to accomplish.

#

I'm trying to sign in using google, the dialog box pops up and a link is opened, but I can't really sign in, it gives me an error

ah, ok. Sorry, I'm not sure how to help with that.

Hey, were you guys able to add an existing API? If so how did you push this to the Amplify backend?
