Accessing the Amazon Health API – The Amazon Health API section describes the operations that retrieve information about events and entities.
Amazon Health provides a console, called the Amazon Health Dashboard, to all customers. You do not need to write code or perform any actions to set up the dashboard.
You can set up an EventBridge rule to receive Amazon Health events on Amazon EventBridge. This provides a way to use push notifications to automate Amazon Health events management by creating Amazon EventBridge rules to take actions.
If you have a Business, Enterprise On-Ramp, or Enterprise Support plan, you can access the information presented on the dashboard programmatically. You can use the Amazon Command Line Interface (Amazon CLI) or write code to make requests, by using either the REST API directly or the Amazon SDKs.
