aws api Health- get list eventTypeCodes

Question

hi, I would like to use the api methods :describe-events-for-organization (Health service) , but I need to use the eventTypeCodes parameter  before calling the methods.
I would like to know all the possible eventtypecodes that exist for each services. 
otherwise I would have no way to properly filter the events under contract. (sla). 
can you tell me how to solve this problem? thank you

how can i get the list of all the eventTypeCodes  ??
![eventTypeCodes  ](/media/postImages/original/IMgfXgk2w4RjCd0RZ3oFSxFg)

thank you

Answer

You can use the CLI command - describe-event-types[1] that returns the event types that meet a specified filter criteria. In case, you don't specify a filter criteria, the API operation returns all event types, in no particular order. From the response, you can iterate through the eventTypes list and extract the 'code' from each event object to get the eventTypeCodes. Kindly note that this API operation uses pagination, hence, specify the nextToken parameter in the next request to return more results.

Also, find the boto3 documentation of the describe_event_types[2] operation.

thanks for your answer!! .
 i applied the method and i get 1147 event type code.
 I thought I solved it but instead there are some types of events registered in the last month that are not present among the 1147 event codes loaded. How is it possible ? same region.

example:
for this type of event code I am not receiving information : AWS_DYNAMODB_CONTROLPLANE_API_ISSUE
services = clientHealth.describe_event_types(
                                        filter={
                                         "eventTypeCategories": ['issue'],
                                         "eventTypeCodes": ['AWS_DYNAMODB_CONTROLPLANE_API_ISSUE'],
                                         "services": ['DYNAMODB']
                                             })

but it turns out a precise event arn with this event code type that happened in early September 2022 (call describe_events_for_organization). 
why the event code type is not returned when calling the method describe-event-types ? Thanks for your help...
