text: **Create an API**
  
  When you create an API Gateway REST API, there are two essential components: 
  
  •**method**– HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, OPTIONS and DELETE) An HTTP method is 
  an action to be taken on a resource. API Gateway also has an ANY method, that matches any 
  method type. 
  
  •**resource**– A resource is related to your business logic, for example users, orders, or messages.
