API Gateway:VPC-based API calls

Last Updated:Jun 17, 2026

You can call APIs in API Gateway over a virtual private cloud (VPC) from a VPC or from Function Compute.

Access API Gateway from a VPC

API Gateway supports access over the Internet or a VPC:

  • Enable VPC-based access for a serverless instance: Serverless instances support VPC-based access. All VPCs in the same region as the instance can access it.

  • Enable VPC access for a dedicated instance: You can authorize only one VPC in the same region to access a dedicated instance. Other VPCs in the same region are blocked, which enhances security.

Access API Gateway from Function Compute over an internal network

Function Compute can access API Gateway over a VPC in the following scenarios:

  • Scenario 1: API Gateway and Function Compute are deployed in the same region.

  • Scenario 2: API Gateway and Function Compute are deployed in different regions.

Important

This feature is available only for dedicated instances.
