Guys, do we have a "request body" validation available in `sst.Api`?
I am trying to find `apigateway.Model` and `apigateway.RequestValidator` , for my POST-APIs.

iirc, that stuff is only available for API Gateway's REST api, not their newer HTTP api

<https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/http-api-vs-rest.html>

stupid naming convention but essentially "REST Api" is v1, and "HTTP Api" is v2

Thanks, <@U01RS0GGN4A>, Is there a way I can add a body validation to my rest APIs created with sst.Api. (like extending functionality through CDK constructs?)

Just to clarify, you’d need to use `sst.Api` creates HTTP APIs. You can use `sst.ApiGatewayV1Api` to create a REST API and configure request validation.

Thanks, <@U01JVDKASAC>.  switching to `ApiGatewayV1Api`  local testing and everything that SST offers still hold good right?

Yup! Are you sure u want to switch over to using REST APIs? lol

I might be biased, but I find HTTP Apis are much easier to work with.

:face_with_rolling_eyes:, I wanted to have validations checked before reaching lambda code. (I overheard someone saying "why should we pay (execution time) if user's make an invalid request?"), :joy: Going to go through that difference again.

That’s true. But note that HTTP API is cheaper, and has better performance.

And yeah, `sst start` works for both constructs.

Yep, agreed. I guess I will use HTTP and check out middy.
