Get an asset

get https://{your-domain}.com/asset/

Retrieve an asset specified by its assetPath

Details

This endpoint returns the asset itself or an image thumbnail representing the asset. It is always important to set the Content-Type and Content-Length headers.

The Content-Length header should be the number of bytes of the asset.

The body of the result should be the octet stream of the binary data for the specified asset.

The Content-Type header should be appropriate for the type of asset being returned. The Content-Types supported are:

thumbnail Query Parameter

When true, a thumbnail of the asset should be returned. Recommended values:

  • When the asset is an image, this should be a smaller version of the image
  • When a non-imagable format, it should be an icon of the format type.

Implementors can choose to ignore this flag, but it will degrade the user’s experience while searching for an asset. Spredfast will also halt the tranfer of thumbnails if they do not transfer within a reasonable amount of time.
