Assets - Data

Get and update asset metadata including core metadata (name, size, type) and custom metadata (user-defined JSON data).

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

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

📄️ Get Data

Retrieve an Asset's data that includes `Core metadata`, `Custom metadata`, conversions and addon details.

📄️ Update Data

Save arbitrary JSON data as custom metadata for an asset.

📄️ Update with Higher Throughput

When the Update Data API is called, FileSpin synchronously updates asset data within multiple services such as Database and Search. Thus the Update API has inherent throughput limitations due to the nature of synchronous service calls.
