Research direction

Start by reading the existing django/flask integrations and the AWS API Gateway event documentation linked in the issue. Trace how RequestValidator consumes the request adapters, then determine the scope of ApiGatewayEventOpenAPIRequest. Done means API Gateway events can be passed through an equivalent integration and validated as shown in the example.

Description

area/contrib kind/enhancement

Add an integration similar to django/flask

+---------+    event   +---------+
| API_GW  +----------->+  lambda |
+---------+            +---------+

The event object is structured as here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/services-apigateway.html

Example implementation:

def handler(event, context):

  from openapi_core.validation.request.validators import RequestValidator
  from openapi_core.contrib.aws import ApiGatewayEventOpenAPIRequest

  openapi_request = ApiGatewayEventOpenAPIRequest(event)
  validator = RequestValidator(spec)
  result = validator.validate(openapi_request)
