Can you clarify? Is the EC2 instance in a private subnet? Does it have internet access? - Marcin
Is your instance public or private? If is public does it have an internet gateway attached to its routing table? If its private does it have a NAT attached to its routing table? - Chris Williams
It's in private subnet. And do not have internet access. - ANUJ AGARWAL
You can add a private endpoint to your VPC and your routing tables. Take a look at aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/… - Chris Williams
@ChrisWilliams thanks a lot it was i quick setup :) - ANUJ AGARWAL

As the account must be restrictive with its outbound communication over internet, the suggested solution would to make use of a VPC endpoint for API Gateway.

Once you create this endpoint, make sure to enable the "Enable Private DNS Name" option to override the DNS resolution for execute-api endpoints to speak to resolve through your VPC endpoint.
