How to invoke an API gateway rest api endpoint with credentials

[pnmcgp]

Describe the issue

There is a ton of documentation on how create, modify, and protect a rest-api made with API Gateway but there doesn't seem to be any info on how to actually call an endpoint with the correct auth headers. I'd assume since I can do everything else in boto3 that this should be implemented somewhere but so far I have had no luck finding it.

Is there any existing documentation for invoking and api gateway endpoint with credentials?
