Resource Management:Overview

Last Updated:Jun 10, 2026

Resource Directory API has two versions. This topic describes the key differences between them to help you choose the right version.

Resource Directory API is available in two versions: 2022-04-19 (new version) and 2020-03-31 (old version).

  • Both versions have the same features. Use only one version in your application.

    Note

    API operations no longer maintained in the 2020-03-31 version are not available in the 2022-04-19 version.

  • The two versions use different endpoints.

    • 2022-04-19: Endpoints differ between the China site (aliyun.com) and the international site (alibabacloud.com). For details, see Endpoints.

    • 2020-03-31: The endpoint resourcemanager.aliyuncs.com is used for both the China site (aliyun.com) and the international site (alibabacloud.com).

  • Use the 2022-04-19 version for all new development.

    The 2020-03-31 version remains functional but will no longer be maintained. New features are added only to the 2022-04-19 version.
