DC 5.9 Getting assets by Id

Allows getting information about assets in the system.

There are 2 APIs available for this.

Please keep in mind that all the asset preview URLs returned here are already authorized, so no additional authorization is necessary to pass in when requesting them. This means you can use them directly on web pages without any additional work. However, they will expire when the access key used to make them expires.

Notes

At least one of either assetIds, itemIds or itemGuids has to be passed in.
If you request assets you don’t have access to/does not exist, then they are simple not in the response. You still get a 200 response with the remaining assets. If none of the assets you requested are found, then you get an empty array with a 200 response code.

Example request (By asset id):

In this example we request the asset by assetId
