API Version and Schema Location

The Amazon CloudFront control API is versioned using a date. The current version is 2010-11-01. You include the date as part of the URI in your requests (for more information, go to REST Requests in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide).

Many of the REST API requests and responses include XML. That XML follows the Amazon CloudFront schema, which is located at https://cloudfront.amazonaws.com/doc/2010-11-01/AmazonCloudFrontCommon.xsd.
