Assets API Update Rendition Mime Type

We migrated our assets from another system. Some file extension are not formatted correctly, like "filename.jpg (1)". AEM couldn't figured out mime type, so DAM Update Asset workflow couldn't generate renditions.

 

I tried to add mime type manually via Assets API but I'm getting "Forbidden" error. Any ideas?

 

PUT /api/assets/myfolder/myAsset.png/renditions/original -H"Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"properties":{"jcr:mimeType":"image/jpeg"}}'

Hi @btaymaz1 

 

You can try in the below way:

  1. Use the PUT request with the asset URL e.g. http://localhost:4502/api/assets/wknd-events/wknd-events.jpg
  2. Set the Authorization type as "Basic Auth" with username and password.
  3. Set the "Content-Type" header as "application/json".
  4. Use the below request body:
{
    "properties": {
    "metadata" : {
        "dam:MIMEtype":"image/jpeg"
       }
   }
}

 

This will set the mime type on metadata node.

 

Hope this helps!

Thanks

    This put it to asset level, thumbnail creation looks under "renditions/original"

      Please check https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager-assets/assets-6-4-http-api-upload-asset/qaq-p/358555

      If it is Author, you may need to use credentials to connect.

        I'm passing credentials, it works at this level "/api/assets/myfolder/myAsset.png" but not "/api/assets/myfolder/myAsset.png/renditions/original""
