title: How do I set up my API to require an API key with amazon API Gateway?
body: <p>I have been following advice on this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39061041/using-an-api-key-in-amazon-api-gateway">post</a> I've created an API key on AWS and set my POST method to require an API key.</p>
  
  <p>I have also setup a usage plan and linked that API key to it.</p>
  
  <p>My API key is enabled</p>
  
  <p>When I have been testing requests with postman, my request still goes through without any additional headers. </p>
  
  <p>I was expecting no requests to go through unless I had included a header in my request like this <code>"x-api-key":"my_api_key"</code> </p>
  
  <p>Do I need to change the endpoint I send requests to in postman for them to go through API Gateway?</p>
