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

  1. Get a single asset by assetId
    Use the Digizuite service IAssetSearchService

    var assetSearchService = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IAssetSearchService>(); var assetResponse = await assetSearchService.GetAsset(75);

    The response model can be found at https://digizuite.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DD/pages/3804633647

     

  2. Get a list of assets
    Use the Digizuite service IAssetSearchService

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

    The response model can be found at https://digizuite.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DD/pages/3804633647

  3. Freetext search for assets and sort by assetId desending
    Use the Digizuite service IAssetSearchService

    Freetext.
    Count, the number of assets pr page.
    Skip, set to 0, which is page 1.
    SortBy, here we sort by the highest assetId.

    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);
