I have an AppSync API built in CDK, I want to connect it to Amplify programmatically. I have checked the aws-cli but failed to find anything related to adding an existing API.

@hirenumradia you mean connect to Amplify Console Service? Or what is exactly you try to achieve? Please provide more details.

Hi, My use case is as follows:

I am creating an Amplify app and Cognito User / Identity Pool using AWS CDK. I have recently created an Appsync API that I want to add to my Amplify backend programmatically.

How can I connect this API to amplify? Also, how do I enable codegen after I add it?

I'm not sure if any headless commands exist like "amplify import api".
