How to call AWS Simple Work Flow (SWF) from API Gateway

I am designing a workflow which should get call from API gateway as it is a platform service and all user authentication and API auth is handled by API gateway, I first considered using step function but throttling limit is just 2 per second which is not enough for my use case. Now I am considering to use Simple Work Flow where throttling limit is much better but I couldn't find any document showing API gateway can directly call SWF like Stpe function . What is the best way to call SWF StartWorkflowExecution via API gateway given that SWF supports HTTP Requests?

Another option would be to use API gateway proxy integration type for AWS service (see the image below).

enter image description here

If you are not passing the request payload in the format required for the startworkflow execution api call make sure to map to it using the api gateway Integration Request

For this you need to write a Lambda function using AWS SWF SDK (e.g JavaScript SDK) to start the execution using startWorkflowExecution.
