## About

Managed service for creating, publishing, and securing APIs at scale

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, confirmed by community testing in February 2026 across multiple ISPs: the API Gateway marketing page loads, but starting the service redirects to the AWS Console, which returns an Access Restricted error for Syrian users. The team contacted Amazon in March 2026, naming API Gateway among the blocked AWS services; no response has been recorded yet.

## Official timeline

- 2026-03-31 — Contacted Company. Official outreach email sent to Amazon specifically naming API Gateway among the blocked AWS cloud services requiring access restoration for Syrian users.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-25 — Verified. Community testing confirmed that Amazon API Gateway remains blocked in Syria. The public marketing page at aws.amazon.com/api-gateway/ loads normally, but clicking "Get started with API Gateway" redirects to the AWS console which displays an "Access Restricted" page stating: "Your access is being restricted because you appear to be located in a country or region where we do not provide services." Consistent across ADSL and Syriatel.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
