Can proxy act as an API Gateway?

We're looking at using a proxy (eg HAProxy) as an API Gateway. The idea is that an API Gateway is in front of our application servers, and our application calls into the proxy to receive a response.

Does this make sense? Yes, but only for very simple REST APIs, for which your Proxy acts as a reverse proxy to a web server. You may also want to look at a more full-featured solution (like the one from Netlify), as there are a few issues with a proxy like you are proposing.

How do I use AWS API Gateway as proxy?

I want to develop a sample API as a proxy service in AWS API Gateway which can act as authentication and authorization based on different rules and also have ability to pass the request body data if it is available.

If you'd like to create a Proxy method that requires authentication, one approach would be to take advantage of IAM roles. You can assign this role to your API Gateway resource to grant permissions, and when using the API call, request that the user is authenticated, before invoking the method: curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json". -H "Authorization: Bearer ". --data @request.json The downside here is that you'll need to explicitly identify the users and give them access. I'd recommend you also read the chapter on authorization in the documentation.
