AWS X-Ray API
The X-Ray API provides access to all X-Ray functionality through the AWS SDK, AWS Command Line Interface, or directly over HTTPS. The X-Ray API Reference documents input parameters for each API action, and the fields and data types that they return.
You can use the AWS SDK to develop programs that use the X-Ray API. The X-Ray console and X-Ray daemon both use the AWS SDK to communicate with X-Ray. The AWS SDK for each language has a reference document for classes and methods that map to X-Ray API actions and types.
