+# api-gateway
+
+Terraform module to create an API Gateway REST API with a custom domain and Route53 alias record.
+
+## Usage (EDGE - default)
+
+```hcl
+module "api_gateway" {
+  source = "./modules/api-gateway"
+
+  name            = "my-api"
+  domain          = "api.example.com"
+  zone            = "example.com."
+  certificate_arn = "arn:aws:acm:us-east-1:123456789012:certificate/xxxx"
+}
+```
+
+## Usage (REGIONAL)
+
+```hcl
+module "api_gateway" {
+  source = "./modules/api-gateway"
+
+  name            = "my-api"
+  domain          = "api.example.com"
+  zone            = "example.com."
+  certificate_arn = "arn:aws:acm:us-east-1:123456789012:certificate/xxxx"
+  endpoint_type   = "REGIONAL"
+}
+```
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Name | Type | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `api_key_source` | `string` | `"HEADER"` | API Key Source. |
+| `certificate_arn` | `string` | n/a | ACM certificate ARN. For `EDGE`, must be in `us-east-1`. For `REGIONAL`, must be in the same region as the API Gateway. |
+| `domain` | `string` | n/a | Custom domain for the API Gateway. |
+| `endpoint_type` | `string` | `"EDGE"` | Endpoint type for the custom domain. Allowed values: `EDGE`, `REGIONAL`. |
+| `name` | `string` | n/a | API Gateway name. |
+| `private_zone` | `bool` | `false` | Whether the Route53 zone is private. |
+| `zone` | `string` | n/a | Route53 zone name (e.g. `example.com.`). |
+
+## Outputs
+
+| Name | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `id` | API Gateway REST API ID. |
+| `root_resource_api_id` | API Gateway root resource ID. |
+
+## Notes
+
+- The Route53 record is created as an alias to the API Gateway custom domain.
+- The module looks up the Route53 zone by name and `private_zone`.
