Access to AEM DAM for 3rd-party developers

[leo_r]

Hi all,

I'm a developer of a Mac product that batch exports InDesign files to various formats.

A customer just told me that some of their files will be soon hosted on AEM DAM and asked if it will be possible to still use my product to automate their processing.

So I wonder if there are API options that allow third-party developers to implement any of the following operations:

-Let user select desired InDesign files 

-Open those files in InDesign

-Export as PDF and save the PDF files on the DAM server

-Save the source InDesign documents

Thanks for any info that points to the answer to these questions.

Hi @leo_r ,

Please check Connected Asset here [0] & [1]

Asset HTTP API 

If the third party DAM is AEM DAM, you can use connected DAM [0] & [1] feature of 6.5

Otherwise, you need to write custom code and use Assets API to perform the asset-related operation from third party server.

• Retrieve a folder listing
• Create a folder
• Create an asset
• Update asset binary
• Update asset metadata
• Create an asset rendition
• Update an asset rendition
• Create an asset comment
• Copy a folder or asset
• Move a folder or asset
• Delete a folder, asset, or rendition
