Renames an asset, sets its default alternative text, or moves it to a folder. These changes preserve the asset's URL and bytes.
Paramètres
asset_idstringID of the asset.
Corps de la requête
nameThe asset's display name.
alt_textDefault alternative text describing the image. Send null to clear it.
folder_idThe folder to file the asset in. Send null to move it to the top level of the library. Moving an asset never changes its URL.
Contenu de la réponse
created_atupdated_atidurlThe asset's permanent public URL. Safe to embed or link in sent messages; for a document the usable form is a link.
thumbnail_urlA small preview of the asset, for rendering a picker or a grid. Intended for your own interfaces rather than for embedding in messages. Null for every kind but image: generating a preview of a video, an audio file, or a document would mean rendering its contents, which the library does not do. Show an icon for the kind instead.
nameThe asset's display name. Defaults to the uploaded file's name.
content_typeThe stored file's media type, determined from its contents.
kindThe category a media-library asset's type falls into. Use it to group or filter a mixed library.
image: covers PNG, JPEG, and GIF.video: covers MP4, WebM, and QuickTime.audio: covers MP3, M4A, Ogg, and WAV.document: covers PDF.
Possible values (may grow over time): image, video, audio, document
size_bytesThe stored file's size in bytes. Images are re-encoded on upload, so for those this can differ from the size of the file you sent. Every other kind is stored byte-for-byte.
widthThe stored image's width in pixels. Null for every kind but image.
heightThe stored image's height in pixels. Null for every kind but image.
alt_textDefault alternative text describing the asset, carried along whenever it is placed. Most mail clients block images by default, so for an image this is often the only thing a recipient reads.
folder_idThe folder the asset is filed in, or null when it sits at the top level of the library. Filing an asset never changes its URL.
deleted_atWhen the asset was removed from the library, or null if it is still listed. A removed asset keeps serving at its original URL.
