Welcome

Welcome to the Amazon MQ REST API reference. In this guide, you can find descriptions of REST resources, example requests, HTTP methods, schemas, parameters, and the errors that the service returns.

Amazon MQ is a managed message broker service for Apache ActiveMQ and RabbitMQ that makes it easy to set up and operate message brokers in the cloud. A message broker allows software applications and components to communicate using various programming languages, operating systems, and formal messaging protocols. Amazon MQ works with your existing applications and services without the need to manage, operate, or maintain your own messaging system.

Example REST Request

The following is an example of an Amazon MQ REST request (and its headers) which creates a new Amazon MQ for ActiveMQ broker:

POST /v1/brokers HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: application/json X-Amz-Date: 20171123T214525Z Authorization: AWS4-HMAC-SHA256 Credential=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE/20171128/us-east-2/mq/aws4_request, SignedHeaders=content-length;content-type;host;x-amz-date, Signature=a12bc34567defg89h0ij1234kl56m789no01p2q345r6s789tu01v2w3x4567890 Host: mq.us-east-2.amazonaws.com Cache-Control: no-cache { "brokerName": "MyActiveMQBroker", "hostInstanceType": "mq.m5.large", "engineType": "ActiveMQ", "engineVersion": "5.15.8", "logs": { "general": true, "audit": false }, "deploymentMode": "ACTIVE_STANDBY_MULTI_AZ", "publiclyAccessible": true, "subnetIds": [ "subnet-12a3b45c", "subnet-67d8e90f" ], "securityGroups": [ "sg-a1b234cd", "sg-e5f678gh" ], "autoMinorVersionUpgrade": true, "users": [{ "password": "MyPassword456", "groups": [ "admins" ], "consoleAccess": true, "username": "jane.doe" }] }

The following is an example of an Amazon MQ REST request (and its headers) which creates a new Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ broker:
