Honeycomb Events API is one of 22 APIs that [honeycomb](https://apis.io/providers/honeycomb/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification and an AsyncAPI event-driven specification. Tagged areas include Event, Ingestion, Observability, and Telemetry. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, an OpenAPI specification, and an AsyncAPI specification.

The Honeycomb Events API is the lowest-level interface for sending event data to Honeycomb. It supports both single event creation and batch event submission, allowing developers to send structured telemetry data directly to Honeycomb datasets. While Honeycomb recommends using OpenTelemetry or Beeline SDKs for most instrumentation use cases, the Events API provides direct control for custom integrations and specialized data pipelines.
