Honeycomb Events API

The Events API endpoints are the lowest-level way to send Events to Honeycomb. **This should be your last resort!**If unsure where to start when instrumenting an application, read about how to [Send Data to Honeycomb](https://docs.honeycomb.io/send-data/).If you are building a tracing or metrics library, we recommend using [OpenTelemetry](https://docs.honeycomb.io/send-data/opentelemetry/).## AuthorizationIt is recommended that an Ingest API key is used for sending events.A Configuration API key will work, and must have the **Send Events** permission.Learn more about [API keys here](https://docs.honeycomb.io/configure/environments/manage-api-keys/).

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Honeycomb Events API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
