Asset Processor API

The Asset Processor API allows you to import assets to storage, validate them, and generate asset previews, for example, to display as thumbnails.

To add resources to storage, you may use the Asset Storage API performing the CRUD operations on the files in storage. However, it does not allow doing anything useful with them. This is where the Asset Processor comes to help.

Using the processor, you can perform operations which require some knowledge about the content of an asset. Here are some examples of these tasks:

Extracting metadata - e.g. get width/height for an image or a postscript name for a font
Generating a preview image
Importing an asset to a storage

Public templates are managed through the Designs API, and private designs stored in user folders are managed through the PrivateDesigns API. Both APIs expose a similar set of endpoints.

What you can do

Create designs and save them to storage.
Import artwork such as images and fonts.
Generate previews of assets.
