I am trying to schedule downtime for host for few minutes using an event handler on a service on that host. Any idea on how to do that?

You won't be able to use the API for scheduling downtime, but you could use an external command to do it from the CLI, i.e.:

You can view all external nagios commands here:

Thanks this will work
