The most important part about a request of course is the URL you are sending the request to, that's also called the API endpoint and it is something like yourdomain.com/posts/1 for example, the exact path here of course depends on the API you're interacting with.

  Step 1: Launch an EC2 Instance(Linux 2) Before we install apache web server on the EC2 instance, we will need an EC2 instance up and running. You can refer my previous tutorial to launch a Linux 2 instance in AWS. Link to tutorial:   How to Launch EC2 Instance Step by Step in AWS Step 2: Connect to your Linux 2 instance Once your instance is up and running, you need to connect to your instance. I will be using EC2 instance connect feature for this as it allows to SSH into instance from browser itself. However, if you want to usual SSH, feel free to use below command from your terminal. ssh - i / path / my - key - pair . pem ec2 - user@instance - public - ip To SSH from browser using Instance connect, follow below steps. Select your instance and click connect   as highlighted below 2.  Once, you click Connect, you will see a screen with default username for a Linux 2 instance verify that  ec2-user  is showing in username field and click  Connect . A new browser window will open and yo
