| disable_execute_api_endpoint | core | bool          | Specifies whether clients can invoke your API by using the default <code>execute-api</code> endpoint. By default, clients can invoke your API with the default <code>https://{api_id}.execute-api.{region}.amazonaws.com</code> endpoint. To require that clients use a custom domain name to invoke your API, disable the default endpoint.                                      |
| endpoint_configuration       | core | json          | The endpoint configuration of this RestApi showing the endpoint types of the API.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| id                           | core | string        | The API's identifier. This identifier is unique across all of your APIs in API Gateway.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| minimum_compression_size     | core | int64         | A nullable integer that is used to enable compression (with non-negative between 0 and 10485760 (10M) bytes, inclusive) or disable compression (with a null value) on an API. When compression is enabled, compression or decompression is not applied on the payload if the payload size is smaller than this value. Setting it to zero allows compression for any payload size. |
| name                         | core | string        | The API's name.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
