+#### Lambda-based request authorizer
+
+This module provides support for request-based Lambda authorizers. When a client makes a request to an API's methods configured with such
+an authorizer, API Gateway calls the Lambda authorizer, which takes specified parts of the request, known as identity sources,
+as input and returns an IAM policy as output. A request-based Lambda authorizer (also called a request authorizer) receives 
+the identity sources in a series of values pulled from the request, from the headers, stage variables, query strings, and the context.
+
+API Gateway interacts with the authorizer Lambda function handler by passing input and expecting the output in a specific format.
+The event object that the handler is called with contains the body of the request and the `methodArn` from the request to the
+API Gateway endpoint. The handler is expected to return the `principalId` (i.e. the client identifier) and a `policyDocument` stating
+what the client is authorizer to perform.
+See [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/apigateway-use-lambda-authorizer.html) for a detailed specification on
+inputs and outputs of the Lambda handler.
+
+The following code attaches a request-based Lambda authorizer to the 'GET' Method of the Book resource:
+
+```ts
+const authFn = new lambda.Function(this, 'booksAuthorizerLambda', {
+  // ...
+  // ...
+});
+
+const auth = new apigateway.RequestAuthorizer(this, 'booksAuthorizer', {
+  handler: authFn,
+  identitySources: [IdentitySource.header('Authorization')]
+});
+
+books.addMethod('GET', new apigateway.HttpIntegration('http://amazon.com'), {
+  authorizer: auth
+});
+```
+
+By default, the `RequestAuthorizer` does not pass any kind of information from the request. This can,
+however, be modified by changing the `identitySource` property, and is required when specifying a value for caching.
+
+Authorizers can also be passed via the `defaultMethodOptions` property within the `RestApi` construct or the `Method` construct. Unless
+explicitly overridden, the specified defaults will be applied across all `Method`s across the `RestApi` or across all `Resource`s,
+depending on where the defaults were specified.
