Appendix: SOAP API - Amazon Simple Storage Service
Common elements
Note

SOAP support over HTTP is deprecated, but it is still available over HTTPS. New Amazon S3 features will not be supported for SOAP. We recommend that you use either the REST API or the AWS SDKs.

This section describes the SOAP API with respect to service, bucket, and object operations. Note that SOAP requests, both authenticated and anonymous, must be sent to Amazon S3 using SSL. Amazon S3 returns an error when you send a SOAP request over HTTP.

The latest Amazon S3 WSDL is available at docs.aws.amazon.com/2006-03-01/AmazonS3.wsdl.

Topics

Common elements

You can include the following authorization-related elements with any SOAP request:

  • AWSAccessKeyId: The AWS Access Key ID of the requester

  • Timestamp: The current time on your system

  • Signature: The signature for the request
