Asset API - Introduction

Upload, download, delete, replace, and manage asset files and their metadata. Includes content operations, data/metadata management, conversions, and content links.

Key concepts:

  • Deleting an original is a soft-delete (asset is hidden, can be restored)
  • Purging permanently removes the asset and all conversions
  • Public access can be set per-file or per-conversion

All asset data follows a standard JSON structure containing id, status, name, size, content_type, metadata, data, conversions, and addons_info fields. See Asset Data Format for details.

note

Asset status must be OK before accessing or updating. Check status after upload, especially for large files.
