Honeycomb
Honeycomb is an observability platform for understanding complex distributed systems through high-cardinality, high-dimensional telemetry. Founded in 2016 by Charity Majors and Christine Yen and headquartered in San Francisco, it stores traces, logs and metrics as wide events and lets engineers query arbitrarily across every field at interactive speed, rather than pre-defining dashboards and thresholds. Honeycomb is OpenTelemetry-native: OTLP is the documented ingest path and the company has moved its own proprietary Beelines and distributions to End of Life in favour of upstream OpenTelemetry SDKs. The public REST API is described by a single OpenAPI 3.1 contract covering 89 operations across 22 resource groups - events, datasets, columns, calculated fields, queries, query data, boards, triggers, SLOs, burn alerts, markers, recipients, service maps, environments, API keys and anomaly detection signals - split across US and EU regions. Honeycomb also runs a first-party OAuth-protected Model Context Protocol server at mcp.honeycomb.io, publishes A2A and Agent Skills discovery documents from its docs host, and ships an official agent-skills plugin, making it one of the more complete agent-facing surfaces in the observability category. Products include the core observability platform, Refinery tail-based sampling, Telemetry Pipeline, and Canvas AI-assisted investigations.
Honeycomb publishes 22 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Auth API, Boards API, Burn Alerts API, and 19 more. Tagged areas include Observability, Tracing, Distributed Tracing, Telemetry, and OpenTelemetry.
The Honeycomb catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification, 1 JSON-LD context, and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
Honeycomb’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, developer portal, engineering blog, pricing, support, tooling, and 72 more developer resources.

description: 'The Events API endpoints are the lowest-level way to send Events to Honeycomb. **This should be your last
resort!**
If unsure where to start when instrumenting an application, read about how to [Send Data to Honeycomb](https://docs.honeycomb.io/send-data/).
If you are building a tracing or metrics library, we recommend using [OpenTelemetry](https://docs.honeycomb.io/send-data/opentelemetry/).
## Authorization
It is recommended that an Ingest API key is used for sending events.
A Configuration API key will work, and must have the **Send Events** permission.
Learn more about [API keys here](https://docs.honeycomb.io/configure/environments/manage-api-keys/).'
