The AWS Support API reference is intended for programmers who need detailed information about the AWS Support operations and data types. This service enables you to manage your AWS Support cases programmatically. It uses HTTP methods that return results in JSON format.
You must have a Business or Enterprise support plan to use the AWS Support API.
If you call the AWS Support API from an account that does not have a
Business or Enterprise support plan, the
SubscriptionRequiredException
error message appears. For
information about changing your support plan, see AWS Support.
The AWS Support service also exposes a set of AWS Trusted Advisor features. You can retrieve a list of checks and their descriptions, get check results, specify checks to refresh, and get the refresh status of checks.
The following list describes the AWS Support case management operations:
Service names, issue categories, and available severity levels.
The describe_services
and
describe_severity_levels
operations return AWS service names, service codes, service
categories, and problem severity levels. You use these values when
you call the create_case
operation.
Case creation, case details, and case resolution. The
create_case
,
describe_cases
,
describe_attachment
, and
resolve_case
operations create AWS Support
cases, retrieve information about cases, and resolve cases.
Case communication. The
describe_communications
,
add_communication_to_case
,
and add_attachments_to_set
operations retrieve and add communications and attachments to AWS
Support cases.
The following list describes the operations available from the AWS Support service for Trusted Advisor:
describe_trusted_advisor_checks
returns the list of checks that run against your AWS resources.
Using the checkId
for a specific check returned by
describe_trusted_advisor_checks
,
you can call
describe_trusted_advisor_check_result
to obtain the results for the check that you specified.
describe_trusted_advisor_check_summaries
returns summarized results for one or more Trusted Advisor checks.
refresh_trusted_advisor_check
requests that Trusted Advisor rerun a specified check.
describe_trusted_advisor_check_refresh_statuses
reports the refresh status of one or more checks.
For authentication of requests, AWS Support uses Signature Version 4 Signing Process.
See About the AWS Support API in the AWS Support User Guide for information about how to use this service to create and manage your support cases, and how to call Trusted Advisor for results of checks on your resources.
