The following code examples show how to use `GetCloudFrontOriginAccessIdentity`.

#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To get a CloudFront origin access identity**  
The following example gets the CloudFront origin access identity (OAI) with the ID `E74FTE3AEXAMPLE`, including its `ETag` and the associated S3 canonical ID. The OAI ID is returned in the output of the create-cloud-front-origin-access-identity and list-cloud-front-origin-access-identities commands.  

```
aws cloudfront get-cloud-front-origin-access-identity --id E74FTE3AEXAMPLE
```
Output:  

```
{
    "ETag": "E2QWRUHEXAMPLE",
    "CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentity": {
        "Id": "E74FTE3AEXAMPLE",
        "S3CanonicalUserId": "cd13868f797c227fbea2830611a26fe0a21ba1b826ab4bed9b7771c9aEXAMPLE",

            "CallerReference": "cli-example",
            "Comment": "Example OAI"
        }
    }
