# API Gateway Resource

An API Gateway Resource in AWS represents a specific path segment within an API. It acts as a container for methods (such as GET, POST, PUT) that define how the API responds to requests on that path. Resources can be organized hierarchically to model RESTful APIs, allowing developers to structure endpoints and integrate them with backend services like Lambda, DynamoDB, or HTTP endpoints.
