Single Assets

Basic asset query

Demonstrates the basic query for a single asset.

window.fetch('https://api.cmft.io/v1/<repo>/assets/<assetID>', {
  method: 'get',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': '<apiKey>'
  }
})
  .then(function (response) { return response.json() })
  .then(function (data) {
    console.log(data)
  })

When querying documents, addembedAssets=true as URL parameter or as a query option to include assets by default. This eliminates the need to perform single asset queries and reduces the number of API calls. See example

Response Shaping: Asset query with reduced fields

Like documents, assets have fields which can be defined when making a query. In this example, we're going to query an asset just with its target URL.

To learn how to make a request with multiple fields, take a look at the fields query reference page.

window.fetch('https://api.cmft.io/v1/<repo>/assets/<assetID>?fields=fields(file(url))', {
  method: 'get',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': '<apiKey>'
  }
})
  .then(function (response) { return response.json() })
  .then(function (data) {
    console.log(data)
  })

Asset query with localisation

Example for requesting an asset in one specific language (German).

window.fetch('https://api.cmft.io/v1/<repo>/assets/<assetID>?locale=de', {
  method: 'get',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': '<apiKey>'
  }
})
  .then(function (response) { return response.json() })
  .then(function (data) {
    console.log(data)
  })
