AEM Assets HTTP API - expose meta data

Hi @beast42 ,

Custom properties added to the assets will be fetched by assets API. Such as if you have an additional field as "custom" which is having a value of "customValue" in the metadata node of the asset, when you try to fetch the metadata for the particular asset, it will fetch the additional metadata and will show in the JSON response.

you can see any property starting with dam:*, dc:* are not getting pulled into the JSON response whereas any custom property will be pulled into the response.

Unfortunately Asset HTTP API doesn't have any configurations to allow them.

"The API method updates the metadata properties in the jcr namespace. The updates made using the user interface change the metadata properties in the dc namespace. To sync the metadata values between dc and jcr namespace, you can create a workflow and configure Experience Manager to execute the workflow upon asset edit. Use an ECMA script to sync the required metadata properties. The following sample script synchronizes the title string between dc:title and jcr:title."

You can try the sync metadata approach like below:

1. You can create a workflow and configure Experience Manager to execute the workflow when the dynamic media workflow completes.
2. Use an ECMA script to sync the required metadata properties from dam:* to some custom Property.
3. Read the property in the JSON response and use it wherever required.
4. The following sample script synchronizes the title string between dc:title and jcr:title.

var workflowData = workItem.getWorkflowData();
if (workflowData.getPayloadType() == "JCR_PATH")
{
    var path = workflowData.getPayload().toString();
    var node = workflowSession.getSession().getItem(path);
    var metadataNode = node.getNode("jcr:content/metadata");
    var jcrcontentNode = node.getNode("jcr:content");
    if (jcrcontentNode.hasProperty("jcr:title"))
    {
        var jcrTitle = jcrcontentNode.getProperty("jcr:title");
        metadataNode.setProperty("dc:title", jcrTitle.toString());
        metadataNode.save();
    }
}

Hope that helps!
