title: AWS API-Gateway GET Method Parameter Mapping
body: <p>I use API-Gateway to map rest requests to some Lambda functions. It works fine for post methods, where i send my information in the body as JSON and access it in the lambda like so</p>
  
  <pre><code>module.exports.handler = function(event, context, cb) {
     var email = event.email;
     var name = event.name;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now i wanted to create a GET, with query strings. On the request side on API-Gateway its fine you can select the query string names, but for the life of me I cant figure out what to do on the Integration Request side. How do i get my query strings into my lambda so that i can access them like above. Or are they accessed differently.</p>
  
  <p>I went through the docs, and still dont understand it. You would think this is like the most basic use case and they have an example, but no.</p>
  
  <p>Please can somebody help me</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
