Can you use Assets HTTP API to access assets in a collection in AEM DAM?

[uafzal]

Does Assets HTTP API support accessing assets in a given collection in AEM DAM? Or is there an alternative programmatically approach or another API for it?

@uafzal  Yes you can retrieve the assets in a folder in AEM Assets using the Assets Http API. Refer link below

You can try accessing /api/assets/myFolder.json endpoint in postman with Basic Auth.

@shelly-goel Thank you for the comment. Yes, retrieving folder listing is possible. My question was regarding accessing assets in a collection. Do you know if there a way to fetch assets in a collection?

[shelly-goel]

Since collection doesn't actually hold the assets but virtually groups them together, I don't think there's any API currently available to fetch assets in a collection
