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. This service enables you to manage your AWS Support cases programmatically. It uses HTTP methods that return results in JSON format.

The AWS Support service also exposes a set of 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();

Examples:

Constructing a Support object

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

Options Hash (options):

  • params (map)

    An optional map of parameters to bind to every request sent by this service object. For more information on bound parameters, see "Working with Services" in the Getting Started Guide.

  • sslEnabled (Boolean)

    whether to enable SSL for requests.

  • paramValidation (Boolean|map)

    whether input parameters should be validated against the operation description before sending the request. Defaults to true. Pass a map to enable any of the following specific validation features:

    • min [Boolean] — Validates that a value meets the min constraint. This is enabled by default when paramValidation is set to true.
    • max [Boolean] — Validates that a value meets the max constraint.

Method Details

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

Adds one or more attachments to an attachment set. If an attachmentSetId is not specified, a new attachment set is created, and the ID of the set is returned in the response. If an attachmentSetId is specified, the attachments are added to the specified set, if it exists.

An attachment set is a temporary container for attachments that are to be added to a case or case communication. The set is available for one hour after it is created; the expiryTime returned in the response indicates when the set expires. The maximum number of attachments in a set is 3, and the maximum size of any attachment in the set is 5 MB.

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

Creates a new case in the AWS Support Center. This operation is modeled on the behavior of the AWS Support Center Create Case page. Its parameters require you to specify the following information:

  • issueType. The type of issue for the case. You can specify either "customer-service" or "technical." If you do not indicate a value, the default is "technical."

  • serviceCode. The code for an AWS service. You obtain the serviceCode by calling DescribeServices.

  • categoryCode. The category for the service defined for the serviceCode value. You also obtain the category code for a service by calling DescribeServices. Each AWS service defines its own set of category codes.

  • severityCode. A value that indicates the urgency of the case, which in turn determines the response time according to your service level agreement with AWS Support. You obtain the SeverityCode by calling DescribeSeverityLevels.

  • subject. The Subject field on the AWS Support Center Create Case page.

  • communicationBody. The Description field on the AWS Support Center Create Case page.

  • attachmentSetId. The ID of a set of attachments that has been created by using AddAttachmentsToSet.

  • language. The human language in which AWS Support handles the case. English and Japanese are currently supported.

  • ccEmailAddresses. The AWS Support Center CC field on the Create Case page. You can list email addresses to be copied on any correspondence about the case. The account that opens the case is already identified by passing the AWS Credentials in the HTTP POST method or in a method or function call from one of the programming languages supported by an AWS SDK.

Note: To add additional communication or attachments to an existing case, use AddCommunicationToCase.

A successful CreateCase request returns an AWS Support case number. Case numbers are used by the DescribeCases operation to retrieve existing AWS Support cases.

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

Returns the current list of AWS services and a list of service categories that applies to each one. You then use service names and categories in your CreateCase requests. Each AWS service has its own set of categories.

The service codes and category codes correspond to the values that are displayed in the Service and Category drop-down lists on the AWS Support Center Create Case page. The values in those fields, however, do not necessarily match the service codes and categories returned by the DescribeServices request. Always use the service codes and categories obtained programmatically. This practice ensures that you always have the most recent set of service and category codes.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the describeServices operation

var params = {
  language: 'STRING_VALUE',
  serviceCodeList: [
