Working with Amazon SWF APIs - Amazon Simple Workflow Service
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Working with Amazon SWF APIs

In addition to using the Amazon SDKs that are described in Develop with Amazon SDKs, you can use the HTTP API directly.

To use the API, you send HTTP requests to the SWF endpoint that matches the region that you want to use for your domains, workflows and activities. For more information about making HTTP requests for Amazon SWF, see Making HTTP Requests to Amazon SWF.

This section provides basic information about using the HTTP API to develop your workflows with Amazon SWF. More advanced features, such as using timers, logging with CloudTrail and tagging your workflows are provided in the section, How Amazon SWF Works.
