I can not seem to get the api keys required to work. Sometime the Any proxy will work but no other functions.

Any help is appreciated.

Here is my serverless.yml.

# serverless.yml

service: xxxxx-api

plugins:

- serverless-offline
- serverless-domain-manager

provider:  
name: aws  
runtime: nodejs8.10  
stage: dev  
region: us-west-1

resources:  
Resources:  
MyServiceUsagePlan:  
Type: “AWS::ApiGateway::UsagePlan”  
DependsOn: ApiGatewayRestApi  
Properties:  
UsagePlanName: xxxxx-api-dev

```
MyServiceUsagePlanKey:
  Type: "AWS::ApiGateway::UsagePlanKey"
  DependsOn: MyServiceUsagePlan
  Properties :
    KeyId: xxx4impug7
    KeyType: API_KEY
    UsagePlanId:
      Ref: MyServiceUsagePlan

```

I think you’re indentation is incorrect for `private: true`. Try something like:

```auto
  gettoken:
      handler: index.handler
      events:
        - http:
            path: client/getToken
            method: post
            private: true

```

Thank you so much. I had tried that before to no avail. Must have been something else at the time.
