This can be achieved with single Ambari REST API as @yusaku suggested. Following is the actual working API

{
  "href" : "http://c6401.ambari.apache.org:8080/api/v1/clusters/c1/components/HBASE_MASTER?host_components/metrics/hbase/master/IsActiveMaster=true&fields=host_components/HostRoles/host_name",
  "ServiceComponentInfo" : {
    "cluster_name" : "c1",
    "component_name" : "HBASE_MASTER",
    "service_name" : "HBASE"
  },
  "host_components" : [
    {
      "href" : "http://c6401.ambari.apache.org:8080/api/v1/clusters/c1/hosts/c6401.ambari.apache.org/host_components/HBASE_MASTER",
      "HostRoles" : {
        "cluster_name" : "c1",
        "component_name" : "HBASE_MASTER",
        "host_name" : "c6401.ambari.apache.org"
      },
      "metrics" : {
        "hbase" : {
          "master" : {
            "IsActiveMaster" : "true"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

You can use the Ambari APIs to find that out using simple "curl" GET you should be able to find the Active HBase Master:

http://erie1.example.com:8080/api/v1/clusters/ErieCluster/components/HBASE_MASTER?ServiceComponentIn...

Example Output:

{
  "href" : "http://erie1.example.com:8080/api/v1/clusters/ErieCluster/components/HBASE_MASTER?ServiceComponentInfo/category=MASTER&fields=ServiceComponentInfo/service_name,host_components/HostRoles/display_name,host_components/metrics/hbase/master/IsActiveMaster",
  "ServiceComponentInfo" : {
    "category" : "MASTER",
    "cluster_name" : "ErieCluster",
    "component_name" : "HBASE_MASTER",
    "service_name" : "HBASE"
  },
  "host_components" : [
    {
      "href" : "http://erie1.example.com:8080/api/v1/clusters/ErieCluster/hosts/erie3.example.com/host_components/HBASE_MASTER",
      "HostRoles" : {
        "cluster_name" : "ErieCluster",
        "component_name" : "HBASE_MASTER",
        "display_name" : "HBase Master",
        "host_name" : "erie3.example.com"
      },
      "metrics" : {
        "hbase" : {
          "master" : {
            "IsActiveMaster" : "false"
          }
        }
      }
    },
    {
      "href" : "http://erie1.example.com:8080/api/v1/clusters/ErieCluster/hosts/erie4.example.com/host_components/HBASE_MASTER",
      "HostRoles" : {
        "cluster_name" : "ErieCluster",
        "component_name" : "HBASE_MASTER",
        "display_name" : "HBase Master",
        "host_name" : "erie4.example.com"
      },
      "metrics" : {
        "hbase" : {
          "master" : {
            "IsActiveMaster" : "true"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

Notice:

 "IsActiveMaster" : "false"

More easy command to access this info using curl by hitting the URL:

http://erie1.example.com:8080/api/v1/clusters/ErieCluster/hosts/erie3.example.com/host_components/HB...

 curl -u admin:admin -H "X-Requested-By: ambari"  -X GET http://erie1.example.com:8080/api/v1/clusters/ErieCluster/hosts/erie4.example.com/host_components/HB...


{
  "href" : "http://erie1.example.com:8080/api/v1/clusters/ErieCluster/hosts/erie4.example.com/host_components/HBASE_MASTER?fields=metrics/hbase/master/IsActiveMaster",
  "HostRoles" : {
    "cluster_name" : "ErieCluster",
    "component_name" : "HBASE_MASTER",
    "host_name" : "erie4.example.com"
  },
  "host" : {
    "href" : "http://erie1.example.com:8080/api/v1/clusters/ErieCluster/hosts/erie4.example.com"
  },
  "metrics" : {
    "hbase" : {
      "master" : {
        "IsActiveMaster" : "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

You should also be able to specify the condition IsActiveMaster=false to have the API respond with non-active HBaseMasters only. Instead of saying "fields=metrics/hbase/master/IsActiveMaster" in the query, you can turn that into a predicate by saying "metrics/hbase/master/IsActiveMaster=false".

Additionally if you due to some reason if the Ambari is down (not accessible) and still if you want to get the Active HBase Master detail then you can simply use the HBase JMX for the same. Here "16010" is HBase JMX ui port.

Exampe:

$ curl -v --silent 'http://erie4.example.com:16010/jmx?qry=Hadoop:service=HBase,name=Master,sub=Server'  2>&1 | grep isActiveMaster
    "tag.isActiveMaster" : "true",


$ curl -v --silent 'http://erie3.example.com:16010/jmx?qry=Hadoop:service=HBase,name=Master,sub=Server'  2>&1 | grep isActiveMaster
    "tag.isActiveMaster" : "false",
