how to add authentication to aws api gateway call in NodeJS

I'm calling AWS APi Gateway from node, using the following options:

var post_options = {
        host: 'myurl.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com',
        port: '443'
        path: '/staging/api',
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(post_data)
        }
    };

The call is made in the following way:

http.post(post_options, post_data, function(res){
            res.setEncoding('utf8');
            res.on('data', function(chunk) {
                console.log(chunk);
            });
        });

The response I get back is:

I think, I'm getting "Bad request" because I did not pass any authentication information to my call. What is the proper syntax to add such auth information?
