I built a microservice that does something similar[0] for Mailchimp. They have an API that requires a secret key, but we didn't want to keep a server running for it (and obviously didn't want anyone on the internet playing with our key). So I set up a little python service that serves a page and 'proxies' the API to the end user.

On the AWS side it appears you can entirely use API Gateway. Here [2] is a Swagger 2.0 definition file I just wrote which upon import creates an API endpoint that should proxy requests to an external API while adding your secret credentials.
