create_invalidation#

CloudFront.Client.create_invalidation(**kwargs)#

Create a new invalidation. For more information, see Invalidating files in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide.

Request Syntax

response = client.create_invalidation(
    DistributionId='string',
    InvalidationBatch={
        'Paths': {
            'Quantity': 123,
            'Items': [
                'string',
            ]
        },
        'CallerReference': 'string'
    }
)

Parameters:

DistributionId (string) –
[REQUIRED]

The distribution’s id.
InvalidationBatch (dict) –
[REQUIRED]

The batch information for the invalidation.
- Paths (dict) – [REQUIRED]
  
  A complex type that contains information about the objects that you want to invalidate. For more information, see Specifying the Objects to Invalidate in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide.
  - Quantity (integer) – [REQUIRED]
    
    The number of invalidation paths specified for the objects that you want to invalidate.
  - Items (list) –
    
    A complex type that contains a list of the paths that you want to invalidate.
    - (string) –
- CallerReference (string) – [REQUIRED]
  
  A value that you specify to uniquely identify an invalidation request. CloudFront uses the value to prevent you from accidentally resubmitting an identical request. Whenever you create a new invalidation request, you must specify a new value for CallerReference and change other values in the request as applicable. One way to ensure that the value of CallerReference is unique is to use a timestamp, for example, 20120301090000.
  
  If you make a second invalidation request with the same value for CallerReference, and if the rest of the request is the same, CloudFront doesn’t create a new invalidation request. Instead, CloudFront returns information about the invalidation request that you previously created with the same CallerReference.
  
  If CallerReference is a value you already sent in a previous invalidation batch request but the content of any Path is different from the original request, CloudFront returns an InvalidationBatchAlreadyExists error.

Return type:

dict
