Admin API Reference Guide

CloudCheckr allows for the creation of two different types of access keys. Account-level access keys can only make calls against a single account. Admin-level access keys allow users to make calls against any of their accounts within CloudCheckr. They also allow API users to make account-management related calls that cannot be executed using account-level access keys.

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.

Attempting to make any of these calls using a general API access key will result in an error. You may also use admin-level API keys to make the other calls found in the general API Reference guide.

When using an admin-level access keys to make those calls you must add one of the following parameter to your calls:
  • use_account – the name of the account you are making the call for, where the name is the name of the account added in CloudCheckr.
  • use_cc_account_id – the ID of the account you are making the call for. The ID is returned when using the method ‘account/add_account_v3′ to register the account in CloudCheckr.

XML Call:

https://api.cloudcheckr.com/api/best_practice.xml/get_best_practices?access_key=[access_key]&use_account=[MyAccount]
https://api.cloudcheckr.com/api/best_practice.xml/get_best_practices?access_key=[access_key]&use_cc_account_id=[MyAccountId]

JSON Call:

https://api.cloudcheckr.com/api/best_practice.json/get_best_practices?access_key=[access_key]&use_cc_account_id=[MyAccountId]

Using Access Keys

CloudCheckr requires an access key to be passed as a parameter to all API calls.

Example of Using an Access Key:

https://api.cloudcheckr.com/api/change_monitoring.json/get_changes?access_key=[access_key]

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 when possible.

The preferred HTTP method for each call is GET unless specifically noted in the API CALLS section.

Add Undiscovered AWS Account ID

The API method, “add_undiscovered_aws_account_id”, allows Partner System Admin customers to set up an account family, without creating a new CloudCheckr project, before an account is available in the Detailed Billing Report (DBR).

This newly added account ID can be used in account families, custom charges, and in any place where a normal AWS account ID is used. Accounts added this way also function normally for current endpoints, so endpoints like modify_account_family can use this account as a parameter.

INPUT PARAMETERS:

add_aws_account_id string required; the 12-digit AWS account ID of the undiscovered AWS account
use_account string *optional/required; friendly name of the account in CloudCheckr
