Empatica Cloud Data Access (S3) is one of 3 APIs that [Empatica](https://apis.io/providers/empatica/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Raw Data, Avro, and S3. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and authentication docs.

The primary programmatic data interface for the Empatica Health Monitoring Platform. High-frequency raw data from EmbracePlus is uploaded to the Empatica Cloud every 30 minutes and made available in an organization-scoped AWS S3 bucket (s3://bucket-name/version/dir-name/) as Apache Avro files named [participant_id]_[utc_timestamp_start].avro. Access is authorized with Data Access Keys — an AWS Access Key ID and Secret Access Key generated and revoked from the Data Access Keys page of the Care Portal, with a maximum of two active key sets per account. Any S3-capable client works: Cyberduck, AWS CLI v2, or the AWS SDKs.
