Assets

Assets are images used within the Site's content blocks, or other documents. The typical client workflow is as follows:

  • Create a new asset via a POST request to /assets. If the response is successful:
    • Upload the asset body to the returned upload_url.
    • Upon a successful upload, make a PUT request to /assets/:id/confirm.
  • Periodically poll all confirmed assets until their status is done. done image assets include the sizes array, specifying all generated variants of the original image. In order to not make a separate API request for every polled asset, combine these using a filter, e.g.: GET /assets?q.asset.id.$in=1,2,3.

Summary of asset endpoints

GET /assets

By default, this request returns a list of all assets for the current site (newer first).

Asset may be one of type: image, document or flash.

When asset type is image, an array of available sizes are included in the response as sizes. If processing has not completed (status: done), the sizes array may be empty.

When asset type is image or flash then width and height are provided in the response.

Possible statuses are:

  • created — The asset has been created, but its body has not been uploaded and a confirm request has not been received.
  • uploaded — A confirm request to signal that the client has uploaded the asset body has been received and the asset is awaiting processing.
  • in_progress — The asset is being processed.
  • done — Asset processing has completed successfully.
  • failed — Asset processing has failed.
