AWS Lambda http, where do I find the URL?

Question

I am fairly new to AWS Lambda but sure can see the benefits of it and stumbled upon the superb framework Serverless to help me built solutions on Lambda.

I started out building solutions using AWS API Gateway but really need "internal" VPC API's and not public Internet facing API's like API GW creates.

I found that Servless indeed can expose a HTTP endpoint but I can't figure out how this is done and how the URL is created. When I deploy the Lambda from Serverless it gives me the URL, e.g.:

https://uxezd6ry8z.execute-api.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/dev/ping

I would like to be able to find (or create) this same http listener for already existing Lambdas so my question is how is the URL created and where is teh actual HTTP listener deployed?

You don't create the url yourself. You create the HTTP methods, aws gives you the urls for those methods. You just bind the methods with a lambda_handler function. — Mohammad Yusuf
API Gateway endpoints are always public Internet facing. The API Gateway service does not provide private VPC endpoints. — Mark B
I know API GW creates public endpoints, that's what I want to avoid having! — Anders
@Mohammad Yusuf Ghazi, you write "aws gives you the urls for those methods". That is exactly my question, where do I find that URL in the Lambda console? — Anders

You might be looking for the invoke url,

1. go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/apigateway

2. select api link (which you have deployed on aws lambda).

3. select stages in left side panel and see the invoke url.
