Com. Amazon. Coral. Service#Unknownoperationexception When Triggering Codebuild from Api Gateway

There's no actual guide to integrating specifically API gateway and Codebuild, so I'm looking at several and trying to adapt.

I have my roles and policies set up per this documentation and have my CodeBuild project setup and running successfully.

I've set up a POST endpoint as such, referring to the actions from the CodeBuild API documentation:

And I am using the test tab for the endpoint to send

{ "project": "my-project" }

but am getting this response

{
  "Output": {
    "__type": "com.amazon.coral.service#UnknownOperationException",
    "message": null
  },
  "Version": "1.0"
}

In HTTP Headers, you should define these two headers:

Content-Type = 'application/x-amz-json-1.1'
X-Amz-Target = 'CodeBuild_20161006.StartBuild'

At first I only added X-Amz-Target but I continue to get the same error and later I found in github issue that someone was passing also Content-Type with that value to the request and I tried and worked.

I hope this helps others in the future.

The problem in my case was that I used an unsupported action's name. I set the action to StartExecution and it works.

Source:

It is because Content-Type header is missing

add header
If using POST request to send data then: Content-Type: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
Content-Type: 'your request content type'
