API to bulk update assets metadata

Avatar

Level 5

Hi.

 

Is there an API or other way to update metadata of multiple assets in bulk from third-party platform, in an AEM on-prem setup

 

I already reviewed this article https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager-assets/how-to-bulk-update-.... But it only talks about ways to do it from within AEM, like using ACS commons stuff for example. While.I need to trigger the bulk update from another platform that integrates with AEM.

Hi,

 

Not that I am aware of. Outside of AEM, you only have the Assets API which will trigger a single operation at a time (https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/assets/admin/mac...). If you don't want to trigger the bulk update from within AEM, you could still add a servlet as a wrapper, and expose a URL which internally triggers one of the methods you mentioned to perform the bulk update (ACS Commons, etc.).

 

Hope this helps.

Thank for confirmimg my thoughts. I wanted to see if I can avoid having to write any custom endpoint to handle buld requests from outside.
