I am trying to add a subdomain for an api. The api is built using api-gateway/lambdas and therefore lives in aws. The url provided for the api is of the form: <random-hash>.execute-api.<region>.amazonaws.com. When forwarding the subdomain to the AWS url, I receive a forbidden, I believe because the AWS domain doesn't match the squarespace certificate. I then tried using Route53 to manage the dns of the subdomain. They provide nameservers I can use for the dns lookup, but there is not place to add nameservers for the specific subdomain in squarespace. Additionally, I created a cert for the subdomain in AWS, and then tried to add the cname validation record to the dns settings in squarespace, but the put request fails saying, I was hoping for some direction on how to get this setup correctly while keeping the domain hosting within squarespace. I basically need, api.<domain>.com to be a subdomain pointing to <random-hash>.execute-api.<region>.amazonaws.com, from squarespace dns. I can move all dns over to AWS, but I was hoping to avoid that.
