In the following we show how you can fetch and search for assets.

Get a single asset by assetId
Use the Digizuite service IAssetSearchService
Code Block
var assetSearchService = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IAssetSearchService>(); var assetResponse = await assetSearchService.GetAsset(75);
The response model can be found at DC 5.8 [core api] Get assets

Get a list of assets
Use the Digizuite service IAssetSearchService

Code Block

var assetSearchService = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IAssetSearchService>();
var getAssetsRequest = new GetAssetsRequest
{
    AssetIds = new HashSet<int> { 75, 76 }
};
var assetResponse = await assetSearchService.GetAssets(getAssetsRequest);

Freetext search for assets and sort by assetId desending
Use the Digizuite service IAssetSearchService
Here we search for assets with the following search criteria:
Freetext.
Count, the number of assets pr page.
Skip, set to 0, which is page 1.
SortBy, here we sort by the highest assetId.

Code Block

var assetSearchService = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IAssetSearchService>();
var assetSearchRequestFreetext = new AssetSearchRequest()
{
    FreeText = "Test",
    Count = 12,
    Skip = 0,
    SortBy = new List<SortField>
    {
        new SortField
        {
            Order = SortOrder.Descending,
            SearchKey = "assetId"
        }
    }
};
var assetResponse = await assetSearchService.SearchForAssets(assetSearchRequestFreetext);

Search by assettype
Use the Digizuite service IAssetSearchService
Search for a specific assettype InDesign.

Code Block

var assetSearchService = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IAssetSearchService>();
var assetSearchRequestAssettype = new AssetSearchRequest()
{
    FacetFields = new List<FacetRequest>
    {
        new FacetRequest
        {
            SearchKey = "assetType",
            Operation = LogicalComparison.Or,
            Recursive = false,
            Values = new List<string>{ "InDesign" }
        }
    },
    Count = 12,
    Skip = 0
};
var assetResponse = await assetSearchService.SearchForAssets(assetSearchRequestAssettype);

Search by metafield Folders
Use the Digizuite service IAssetSearchService
The searchKey is the guid of the metafield Folders. The Folder metafield is of type tree.
The values, are the tree nodes id’s of the metafield Folder.

Code Block

var assetSearchService = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IAssetSearchService>();
var assetSearchRequestFolders = new AssetSearchRequest()
{
    FacetFields = new List<FacetRequest>
    {
        new FacetRequest
        {
            Operation = LogicalComparison.And,
            SearchKey = "bf0ad1a6-984a-494e-a227-9d70c6a864f9",
            Recursive = false,
            Values = new List<string>{ "2" }
        }
    },
    Count = 12,
    Skip = 0
};
var assetResponse = await assetSearchService.SearchForAssets(assetSearchRequestFolders);

Search by date range
Use the Digizuite service IAssetSearchService
Search assets that has been uploaded in a specific date range.

Code Block

var assetSearchService = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IAssetSearchService>();
if (Period.TryParse("2023-06-05T00:00:00.000", "2023-07-04T14:42:54.860", out var dateRangePeriod))
{
    var assetSearchRequestDateRange = new AssetSearchRequest()
    {
        FacetFields = new List<FacetRequest>
        {
            new FacetRequest
            {
                DateRange = dateRangePeriod,
                Operation = LogicalComparison.Or,
                SearchKey = "uploadDate",
                Recursive = false
            }
        },
        Count = 12,
        Skip = 0
    };
    var assetResponse = await assetSearchService.SearchForAssets(assetSearchRequestDateRange);
}

Get all assets in a channel
If you need to get all assets in a channel and the channel contains more then 10.000 assets, then it has to be requested in a special way. Our search engine elastic has a limitation of 10.000.

Code Block

var result = new List<AssetResponse>();

var nextAssetId = -1;
var assetIdFacetRequest = new FacetRequest()

        break;
    }
    result.AddRange(rest.Items);
    nextAssetId = rest.Items.Max(r => r.AssetId);
