How can I use two API Key to authorize two graphql fields separately in Appsync?

I am using Appsync as graphql server. I have read through this article https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/mobile/using-multiple-authorization-types-with-aws-appsync-graphql-apis/ which allows me to use multiple authorisation methods in graphql.

I have two fields on graphql schema which require API Key authorization. Can I assign one key for one field and a different key for different field?

By looking at the @aws_api_key, it doesn't have extra parameter like name or something. It seems that if a field is authorized by API_KEY, it can be accessed by any API KEY generated by the appsync.

Can I create one APIKEY for a particular field? I am looking for something like below schema:

getAllPosts(): [Post]
    @aws_api_key(key1)


updatePost(post: Post): Post
    @aws_api_key(key2)

I'd like to use key1 for getAllPosts and key2 for updatePost. How can I achieve this in appsync?

No you can't use multiple API keys on a single API. However you can configure multiple user pools if you use Amazon Cognito.
