AWS Lambda Payloads

Question

I searched on AWS Lambda documentation but couldn't find an answer to my problem.

Is there a way I can access the entire request body from a Lambda function (written in node.js)?

The event parameter only seems to contain parsed JSON properties.

Answer 1

To be accessible to the Lambda function, the request body has to be written in XML or JSON. In the API Gateway dashboard, under the Integration Request section, you will have to mention how it’s processed/mapped.
