Amazon EventBridge API destinations now support proactive OAuth token refresh for OAuth authorization endpoints. This capability helps you to preemptively mitigate delays and errors during invocations when the OAuth access token is close to expiration.

EventBridge API destinations are HTTPS endpoints that you can invoke as the target of an event bus rule, or pipe, similar to how you invoke an Amazon Web Services service or resource as a target. Using API destinations, you can route events between Amazon Web Services services, integrated software as a service (SaaS) applications, and public applications by using API calls. Now, when you invoke an API destination with an OAuth token that is close to expiration, EventBridge asynchronously requests a new token from your OAuth endpoint, reducing authorization errors and delays due to expired tokens.

Amazon EventBridge API destinations proactive OAuth token refresh is now available at no additional cost for customers in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. To get started, please refer to the Amazon EventBridge user guide.
