I'm trying to create a

stage

in an API Gateway in AWS using

stage = aws.apigatewayv2.Stage("$default", api_id=checkout_api.id)

But I'm being presented with an error saying,

aws:apigatewayv2:Stage ($default):
    error: 1 error occurred:
        * creating API Gateway v2 stage: BadRequestException: Stage name only allows a-zA-Z0-9_

But I'm able to create it using the console. Any idea how to circumnavigate this?

You have a

$

in the name ie

$default
