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.
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]
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.

Customers can use “cc_account_id” for the parameter, “use_cc_account_id”, when making calls to the admin-level API.
- The preferred HTTP method for this call is POST.
- AWS secret keys typically contain special characters. To submit as a parameter on the URL, you must URL encode it. Click here for details.

<LongDescription>When enabled, Auto Scaling will automatically scale EC2 capacity up or down, according to pre-defined conditions. During period of high-demand, the number of EC2 instances will increase to meet that demand. When there is little or no demand, the number of instances decreases to help minimize costs. Cooldown periods help to prevent Auto Scaling from initiating additional scaling activities before the effects of previous activities are visible. Because scaling activities are suspended when an Auto Scaling group is in cooldown, an adequate cooldown period helps to prevent a trigger from firing based on stale metrics. If a cool-down period is not configured, the scaling policy may scale up
