AWS Data Exchange now provides APIs for data grants, enabling programmatic data sharing

Today, AWS announces the availability of APIs for data grants in AWS Data Exchange, a set of common application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow you to programmatically grant time-bound, read-only data access to any other AWS account. Now, you can automate the secure exchange of data across AWS accounts using APIs.

As a data host on AWS, you can programmatically create data grants to share with any other AWS account, with either a predefined duration for the data grant to remain live, or set to run in perpetuity. The recipient can then accept the data grant through APIs and access the read-only data. Data grants work with all five AWS Data Exchange supported delivery types: Data Files, Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift, AWS Lake Formation (Preview), and Amazon API Gateway.

APIs for data grants in AWS Data Exchange are available in all AWS Regions where AWS Data Exchange is available.
