This post details a method for securing API access by implementing per-user OAuth authentication in front of shared-key services. It addresses the security gap where shared API keys lead to a loss of individual accountability. The proposed solution uses Amazon Cognito and AWS Lambda to create a gateway that verifies user identity and scopes access before forwarding requests to upstream services that only support shared keys.
