**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/keda/keda-cloud-event-source-api/  
**Provider:** KEDA — https://apis.io/providers/keda/  
**Documentation:** https://keda.sh/docs/latest/operate/cloud-events/

KEDA CloudEventSource API is one of 5 APIs that [KEDA](https://apis.io/providers/keda/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by an AsyncAPI event-driven specification. This API exposes 1 JSON Schema definition. Tagged areas include CloudEvents, CRD, Event, Kubernetes, and Webhook. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, an AsyncAPI specification, and 1 JSON Schema.

The CloudEventSource and ClusterCloudEventSource custom resources define HTTP or Azure Event Grid destinations where KEDA delivers CloudEvents when scaling events occur. Events follow the CloudEvents specification v1.0 and carry reason codes and messages for events such as ScalerError, ScaledObjectReady, ScaledObjectDeleted, and AuthenticationFailed. Optional event type filters allow consumers to subscribe to only the events they care about.
