AWS API Gateway - access internally

Although this question may seem like something you've seen in the past - please ensure to read it before assuming - as this is related to a different type of internal access.

We currently have a few API Gateways, serving different needs. These Gateways are public (regional) and accessed via public consumers.

On an ah-hoc basis, we do back-end releases, which entail removing the Gateway for external (public) access. The process is then, to make all deployments needed and then test the Gateway once public again.

I'd like to know if there would be a way whereby we could access the same Gateway internally, whilst we are offline, to help speed up testing once back to external.

You can have Ip based access for your API gateway. There's a blog I found, that could be useful to you. https://lobster1234.github.io/2018/04/14/amazon-api-gateway-ip-whitelisting/

One of the ways can be to use a WAF. You can automate the process to change the rule to be open only for you or to the world using. IP Match Condition rule can be useful for whitelisting.
