@kagetora0924 Yes, this is possible as well! You just need to replace the x-amazon-apigateway-any-method substring on lines 59, 51, and 74 with the type of request you want the authorizer on. For example, if you wanted the authorizer on POST requests only, you'd write something like:

# lines 58-59
    resources.restApi.addPropertyOverride(
-      `Body.paths.${path}.x-amazon-apigateway-any-method.parameters`,
+      `Body.paths.${path}.post.parameters`,

everywhere where x-amazon-apigateway-any-method occurs. For multiple methods, you'd likely need to run this separately for every method, as each method has its own section of parameters in the OpenAPI / Swagger spec.
