Retrieve asset folder metadata using Assets API

[Seek_AEM]

I have added metadata to a folder on DAM by using a custom folder metadata schema. However, I am unable to retrieve the information back using the assets API. Doesn't work even with /jcr_content/metadata in the API path. Is it possible to retrieve it using Assets API at all? and how?

Hi, 

Correct, the Assets API won't return custom metadata. If you are using AEMaaCS, I would recommend exploring the new sets of API for Assets, which it seems could work for your use case: https://developer.adobe.com/experience-cloud/experience-manager-apis/api/experimental/assets/author/ .

If you are using AEM on-premise,  you could simply rely on the HTTP API, something like this would work:

Asset Path: http://localhost:4502/assetdetails.html/content/dam/wknd-shared/en/adventures/cycling-tuscany/adobes... 

Metadata access: http://localhost:4502/content/dam/wknd-shared/en/adventures/cycling-tuscany/adobestock-59459597.jpeg... 

Hope this helps

Hi @Seek_AEM ,

To be more precise just you need to append a selector e.g. 1 to your metadata which you were trying. It will work.

We can hit http://localhost:6502/content/dam/Seek_AEM_4-1721395328887.png/jcr:content/metadata.1.json

or 

We can get via servlet/model https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/get-asset-meta-data-from-node-aem-keshav-chaurasiya
