Service Management Versioning

Operations provided by the Service Management API may have multiple versions. You must specify the version of an operation that you want to use by setting the x-ms-version request header. Requests without an x-ms-version header will be rejected and return a (400) Bad Request response. If your service calls an older version of an operation, you can choose to continue calling the older version, or modify your code to call a newer version. Any differences in functionality between versions are outlined in the documentation for the API call.

The x-ms-version request header value must be specified in the format YYYY-MM-DD. For example:

Request Headers:
x-ms-version: 2011-02-25

Supported Versions
