I'm trying to use Amplify to authenticate websockets in AWS API Gateway. I know that Amplify has support to use websockets for AWS IoT and Generic MQTT Over WebSocket Providers, however, there doesnt seem to be support/documentation with https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/announcing-websocket-apis-in-amazon-api-gateway/.

@alpeshgaglani this doc might help you: https://aws-amplify.github.io/docs/js/pubsub#installation-and-configuration

@powerful23 : I re-read Pubsub/MQTT docs a few more times, but I still dont know if it helps authenticating API Gateway websockets. For now, I do manual authentication by grabbing the jwt from authenticated user, and writing custom code using node-jose to parse out the kid, verify the token and return the claims. API Gateway websockets do have userpool auth, but I'm lost on the details of how to integrate that with Amplify. Maybe it's just an issue of providing better docs/samples on how to achieve that?

@emeryaa can you create a new issue in the repo instead of posting under unrelated ones? Thanks.

So I take it aws amplify doesn't support auth over api gateway websockets yet? Any updates on this?

@alpeshgaglani
Currently amplify doesnt support API Gateway websockets. I will mark this a feature-request.
Thanks for your feedback

@alpeshgaglani this issue shouldn't be closed, can you rename it to "API Gateway Websockets Support" or something along those lines to make it more visible?
