title: Automating Deployment of AWS API Gateway Stage
body: <p>How would I go about automating the deployment of an AWS API Gateway via a Python script using Boto3? For example, if I have created a stage named "V1" in the AWS Console for API Gateway, how would I write a script to deploy that stage ("V1")?</p>
  
  <p>The current process involves deploying the stage manually from the AWS Console and is not scriptable. For purposes of automation, I would like to have a script to do the same.</p>
  
  <p>Consulting the Boto3 documentation, I see there's a method for creating a stage (<a href="http://boto3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/services/apigateway.html#APIGateway.Client.create_stage" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://boto3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/services/apigateway.html#APIGateway.Client.create_stage</a>), but none for deploying one.</p>
