New Asset Group Endpoint

Version 1.0 of the Acquia DAM API has long had the ability to return information about asset groups in your Collective app. This same asset group information is now being returned in version 2.0. Custom integrations use asset group endpoints to help organize and permission assets.

The following endpoint is now available for use in v2.0 of the API:

• GET /v2/assets/assetgroups

This endpoint is functionally identical to the /api/rest/assetgroups endpoint in v1.0, but now has added reliability and durability to ensure integrations will get accurate information.

Migration

If an integration is already using the endpoint in v1.0, then a simple migration should be performed. To do that:

• Change the endpoint:
  • From https://mysite.widencollective.com/api/rest/assetgroups
  • To https://api.widencollective.com/v2/assets/assetgroups
• Change the response data field from assetGroups to items. See examples below:
