Overview

Constructs a service interface object. Each API operation is exposed as a function on service.

Service Description

The AWS Support API Reference is intended for programmers who need detailed information about the AWS Support operations and data types. You can use the API to manage your support cases programmatically. The AWS Support API uses HTTP methods that return results in JSON format.

Note:
  • You must have a Business or Enterprise Support plan to use the AWS Support API.
  • If you call the AWS Support API from an account that does not have a Business or Enterprise Support plan, the SubscriptionRequiredException error message appears. For information about changing your support plan, see AWS Support.

The AWS Support service also exposes a set of AWS Trusted Advisor features. You can retrieve a list of checks and their descriptions, get check results, specify checks to refresh, and get the refresh status of checks.

The following list describes the AWS Support case management operations:

The following list describes the operations available from the AWS Support service for Trusted Advisor:

For authentication of requests, AWS Support uses Signature Version 4 Signing Process.

See About the AWS Support API in the AWS Support User Guide for information about how to use this service to create and manage your support cases, and how to call Trusted Advisor for results of checks on your resources.

Sending a Request Using Support

var support = new AWS.Support();
support.addAttachmentsToSet(params, function (err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Locking the API Version

In order to ensure that the Support object uses this specific API, you can construct the object by passing the apiVersion option to the constructor:

var support = new AWS.Support({apiVersion: '2013-04-15'});

You can also set the API version globally in AWS.config.apiVersions using the support service identifier:

AWS.config.apiVersions = {
  support: '2013-04-15',
  // other service API versions
};

var support = new AWS.Support();

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the refreshTrustedAdvisorCheck operation

var params = {
  checkId: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
};
support.refreshTrustedAdvisorCheck(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • checkId — (String)

      The unique identifier for the Trusted Advisor check to refresh.

      Note: Specifying the check ID of a check that is automatically refreshed causes an InvalidParameterValue error.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • status — (map)

        The current refresh status for a check, including the amount of time until the check is eligible for refresh.

        • checkIdrequired — (String)

          The unique identifier for the Trusted Advisor check.

        • statusrequired — (String)

          The status of the Trusted Advisor check for which a refresh has been requested:

          • none - The check is not refreshed or the non-success status exceeds the timeout

          • enqueued - The check refresh requests has entered the refresh queue

          • processing - The check refresh request is picked up by the rule processing engine

          • success - The check is successfully refreshed

          • abandoned - The check refresh has failed

        • millisUntilNextRefreshablerequired — (Integer)

          The amount of time, in milliseconds, until the Trusted Advisor check is eligible for refresh.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

resolveCase(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the resolveCase operation

var params = {
  caseId: 'STRING_VALUE'
};
support.resolveCase(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • caseId — (String)

      The support case ID requested or returned in the call. The case ID is an alphanumeric string formatted as shown in this example: case-12345678910-2013-c4c1d2bf33c5cf47

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }
