# EventBridge API Destination

EventBridge API Destination in AWS allows you to send events from EventBridge to any HTTP-based API endpoint. It provides a managed way to integrate with external services or custom applications without building additional infrastructure. You can configure connection details, authentication, and rate limits, enabling secure and controlled event delivery to third-party APIs or internal endpoints.

```
aws.eventbridge_api_destination
```
