You can now use CloudCheckr CMx access tokens when running API calls in our legacy product. You can still use your existing API access keys in the legacy product, but access tokens will provide better security, more consistent authorization management, and the ability to access multiple projects and accounts.
Please use these URLs when accessing the API in the following platforms:
- AU: https://au.cloudcheckr.com
- EU: https://eu.cloudcheckr.com
- GOV: https://gov.cloudcheckr.com
- FED: https://fed.cloudcheckr.com
Below is the list of CloudCheckr API calls. Most calls can be made against general CloudCheckr accounts, or against CloudCheckr Multi-Account Views where noted.
CloudCheckr is revamping its API documentation to ensure that it reflects the best practices for REST and to improve overall consistency. We will restructure each call to include these sections:
| Section | Description |
| Input Parameters | Options that you pass with the endpoint to influence a response.
Identifies if a parameter is required or optional, the data type, and the parameter description. |
| API Call URL | Identifies the common path for the API (highlighted in yellow) and the end path of the endpoint (highlighted in light blue).
|
| Request Example | Includes a sample request that shows the endpoint and a few key parameters.
Formatted in curl since it’s language-agnostic. Includes the header information and the method (GET or POST in most cases). |
| Response Example | Shows a sample response for all of the parameters passed in the request example.
Includes examples in XML and JSON. |
Using Access Keys
CloudCheckr requires an access key to be passed as a parameter to all API calls.
An admin-level Access key is needed to make calls which affect any account functions. A general access key will not be able to authorize these types of calls and will result in an error.
Click here for details on creating and managing access keys.
Example of Using an Access Key:
https://api.cloudcheckr.com/api/change_monitoring.json/get_changes?access_key=[access_key]
Putting It All Together:
https://api.cloudcheckr.com/api/change_monitoring.json/get_changes?access_key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
API Pagination
When you select from the API, it returns up to 100 results. If the output of your call contains more than 100 results, CloudCheckr will pass back a token allowing you to get the next 100 results, which you should pass to the API to get the next set of 100 results.
For more information on using pagination with the CloudCheckr API please go here.
Preferred HTTP Methods
When using libraries such as curl, you may need to indicate the HTTP method to use (POST or GET). The CloudCheckr API accepts both POST and GET in most API calls. However, we recommend you use the preferred HTTP method.
The preferred HTTP method for each call is GET unless specifically note in the API CALLS section.

API Calls
Add Cost Allocator
The API method, “add_cost_allocator”, is used to create Cost Allocator settings in CloudCheckr, so you can allocate usage costs and report on shared services more accurately.
CloudCheckr has rebranded its existing feature, Tag Mapping – Splitting, as Cost Allocator.
CloudCheckr’s Cost Allocator is a powerful tool that is designed to help Managed Service Providers (MSPs), resellers, and enterprises untangle and manage cost allocation in a multi-tenant implementation. Cost Allocator allows you to re-allocate costs from shared resources and services, by usage, across projects, customers, and departments. This helps ensure accurate invoicing and chargebacks each billing period.
Cost Allocator allows you to easily:
- match shared resources or services from your billing reports
- divide the costs from those resources or services based on usage
- apply the split costs across multiple tag keys and values
The preferred HTTP method for this call is POST.
INPUT PARAMETERS:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
| access_key | string | required; admin-level or account-level access key |
| name_for_cost_allocator | string | required; the unique name of the tagging structure for your selected Cost Allocator configuration |
| tag_conditions | List <string> | required/optional; identifies the costs that match an attribute and a given value EX: Your company uses an You must use the tag_conditions or property_conditions parameter when defining your tagging structure.
|
| property_conditions | List <string> | required/optional; identifies any additional characteristics that allow you to further limit what costs are included in your tagging structure In AWS accounts, you can select one or more of the following properties:
You must use the tag_conditions or property_conditions parameter when defining your tagging structure.
|
| all_conditions_met | boolean | required; indicates that the cost data must meet all the conditions before CloudCheckr will apply the divisions |
| divisions | List <string> | required; indicates how you want CloudCheckr to allocate your costs, by percentage, across your tag mappings CloudCheckr will only apply the divisions if your tagging structure meets the previous conditions. Your cost allocations should add up to 100%.
|
| use_aws_account_id | string | *optional/required; the 12-digit AWS account ID of the CloudCheckr account you are making the call for |
| use_account | string | *optional/required; the name of the CloudCheckr account you are making the call for |
| use_cc_account_id | string | *optional/required; the CloudCheckr ID of the account you are making the call for |
*If you use an admin-level access key, you are required to add one of the following parameters to your request:
- use_aws_account_id
- use_account
- use_cc_account_id

Get CloudTrail Custom Metrics
The API method, “get_cloudtrail_custom_metrics”, is used to export to CSV a list of AMIs and every instance launched. This is based on the Ec2AmiWorkload custom metric.
XML Call:
https://api.cloudcheckr.com/api/security.xml/get_cloudtrail_custom_metrics?access_key=[ACCESS KEY]
JSON Call:
https://api.cloudcheckr.com/api/security.json/get_cloudtrail_custom_metrics?access_key=[ACCESS KEY]
This call accepts these parameters:
- access_key (required) – standard Access Key required for all API calls.
- type (required) – Ec2AmiWorkload (Currnently the only acceptable value is Ec2AmiWorkload)
