Return the expected status code in Postman

Question

I am using Lambda function to return custom responses for my api endpoint.

i am returning the responses like this -

response404 = {
        "statusCode": 404,
        "body": json.dumps({"message": "Not Found"})
        }
        
        if httpStatusCode == "200":
            return output_response
        else:
            return response404

It's returning the response but not setting the status code in Postman.

What do i need to do to set the status to 404 in postman as well.

What web framework does your api use? Flask? Django REST? Something else? — John Gordon, Mar 02 '23 at 01:40
By framework he meant the language framework Python Framework is Flask, JS has express. Also are you lambda proxy integration?This should help https://stackoverflow.com/a/39936210/13126651 — Jatin Mehrotra, Mar 02 '23 at 03:52

This can be done by setting up a Lambda Proxy Integration.

The response of the lambda function needs to be in this format ->

response = {
        "statusCode": 404,
        "headers": {
            "Content-Type" : "application/json"
        },
        "body": json.dumps(error_handler)
    }

return response
