Downloading assets from DAM programmatically.

Question

Hi Team,

We are trying to download assets programmatically from DAM in their original form. We had tried AssetDownloadService -available in Java, for downloading but assets are getting downloaded in zipped folder which is not the requirement in our case. We are using AEM 6.5 and it is on premise.

Kindly let us know any pointers on the same.

Thanks.

Hi @k_bobade

OOTB Asset Download Service would download asset in ZIP format. However, you can customize the code, to extract the downloaded ZIP file.
There would be additional step of extraction. Please add due diligence while coding for this additional step as this might impact Performance, in case of high volume of download requests.

You could explore how the "Asset Shares commons" project has implemented this functionality, you can find more here:
