Unable to get the complete metadata of asset using HTTP API

[uafzal]

I am using the Assets HTTP API. One of the limitations is "Asset API does not return the complete metadata. In API the namespaces are hardcoded and those only get returned. If you need whole metadata, then look at the asset path /jcr_content/metadata.json."

I am accessing the following path but it still does not show the complete metadata

<URL>/api/assets/image.png.json/jcr_content/metadata.json

Am I accessing an invalid endpoint?

Hi,

Welcome to AEM Community !!
Are you able to access the asset's json, when you try <URL>/api/assets/image.png.json?

If yes, please try adding /jcr:content/metadata.json on that URL.

Note : I was trying to access the metadata on my local AEM Author instance and this works http://localhost:<portnumber>/content/dam/folder/assetname/jcr:content/metadata.json

Thanks,

Hello @Vikram_Gaur_  & @uafzal,

Adding /jcr:content/metadata.json to assets http api url <host:port>/api/assets/asset/jcr:content/metadata.json returns 404. The example given http://localhost:portnbr/content/dam/folder/assetname/jcr:content/metadata.json is not an asset http api request, it's a sling api i think. Note the beginning of the url, /api/assets vs /content/dam.

Thanks,
