API for Amazon Chime

ABAP Package /AWS1/API_CHE
ABAP SDK "TLA" CHE
ABAP Interface /AWS1/IF_CHE

The "TLA" is a Three Letter Abbreviation that appears in ABAP class names, data dictionary objects and other ABAP objects throughout the AWS SDK for SAP ABAP. The TLA for Amazon Chime is CHE. This TLA helps squeeze ABAP objects into the 30-character length limit of the ABAP data dictionary.

Installation

To install the AWS SDK for SAP ABAP, import the Core transport, along with the transport for the Chime module and other API modules you are interested in. A few modules are included in the Core transport itself. For more information, see the Developer Guide guide.

About The Service

The Amazon Chime API (application programming interface) is designed for developers to perform key tasks, such as creating and managing Amazon Chime accounts, users, and Voice Connectors. This guide provides detailed information about the Amazon Chime API, including operations, types, inputs and outputs, and error codes. It also includes API actions for use with the Amazon Chime SDK, which developers use to build their own communication applications. For more information about the Amazon Chime SDK, see Using the Amazon Chime SDK in the Amazon Chime Developer Guide.

You can use an AWS SDK, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or the REST API to make API calls. We recommend using an AWS SDK or the AWS CLI. Each API operation includes links to information about using it with a language-specific AWS SDK or the AWS CLI.

Using an AWS SDK

You don't need to write code to calculate a signature for request authentication. The SDK clients authenticate your requests by using access keys that you provide. For more information about AWS SDKs, see the AWS Developer Center.

Using the AWS CLI

Use your access keys with the AWS CLI to make API calls. For information about setting up the AWS CLI, see Installing the AWS Command Line Interface in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide. For a list of available Amazon Chime commands, see the Amazon Chime commands in the AWS CLI Command Reference.

Using REST APIs

If you use REST to make API calls, you must authenticate your request by providing a signature. Amazon Chime supports signature version 4. For more information, see Signature Version 4 Signing Process in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.

When making REST API calls, use the service name chime and REST endpoint https://service.chime.aws.amazon.com.

Administrative permissions are controlled using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). For more information, see Identity and Access Management for Amazon Chime in the Amazon Chime Administration Guide.

Using the SDK

In your code, create a client using the SDK module for Amazon Chime, which is created with factory method /AWS1/CL_CHE_FACTORY=>CREATE(). In this example we will assume you have configured an SDK profile in transaction /AWS1/IMG called ZFINANCE.

DATA(go_session)   = /aws1/cl_rt_session_aws=>create( 'ZFINANCE' ).
DATA(go_che)       = /aws1/cl_che_factory=>create( go_session ).

Your variable go_che is an instance of /AWS1/IF_CHE, and all of the operations in the Amazon Chime service are accessed by calling methods in /AWS1/IF_CHE.

API Operations

For an overview of ABAP method calls corresponding to API operations in Amazon Chime, see the Operation List.

Factory Method

/AWS1/CL_CHE_FACTORY=>CREATE( )

Creates an object of type /AWS1/IF_CHE.

IMPORTING

Required arguments:

IO_SESSION TYPE REF TO /AWS1/CL_RT_SESSION_BASE

Optional arguments:

IV_PROTOCOL TYPE /AWS1/RT_PROTOCOL

IV_REGION TYPE /AWS1/RT_REGION_ID

IV_CUSTOM_ENDPOINT TYPE /AWS1/RT_ENDPOINT

RETURNING

OO_CLIENT TYPE REF TO /AWS1/IF_CHE

/AWS1/IF_CHE represents the ABAP client for the Chime service, representing each operation as a method call. For more information see the API Page page.
