Customer Origins API

The Customer Origins API, which is our initial API implementation, does not support managing a customer origin group's TLS configuration. It also does not support the retrieval of the Function@Edge functions associated with your customer origin groups. Finally, it requires that you manage a customer origin and all of its entries within a single request. For example, you can create a customer origin group and all of its origin entries through the Add Customer Origin endpoint.

Origins API

The Origins API, which is our latest implementation, uses dedicated endpoints to manage a customer origin group and origin entries. For example, setting up a customer origin group consists of requesting the following endpoints:

Additionally, it allows you to retrieve the Function@Edge functions associated with your customer origin groups.

The following endpoints automate the administration of customer origin configurations.

Task	Endpoint
Add	Add a customer origin through these platform-specific endpoints: Add Customer Origin - ADN Add Customer Origin - HTTP Large Add Customer Origin - HTTP Small
Delete	The Delete Customer Origin endpoint deletes the specified customer origin configuration.
Get	Retrieve a list of customer origin configurations through these platform-specific endpoints: Get All Customer Origins - ADN Get All Customer Origins - HTTP Large Get All Customer Origins - HTTP Small Retrieve a specific customer origin configuration through these platform-specific endpoints: Get Customer Origin - ADN Get Customer Origin - HTTP Large Get Customer Origin - HTTP Small Retrieves the propagation status for a customer origin configuration through the Get Customer Origin Status endpoint.
