Assets

Get an asset

Returns the asset with description, category, and its CDN delivery shape: for transformable images url is the optimized 1920px default and originalUrl the original bytes; both never expire. MCP clients that render images also receive the image.

Path parameters

assetIdstring required

Response

The asset with its public CDN delivery URLs.

idstring required

Unique asset id. Pass it to websiteAssets.get and websiteAssets.delete.

kind'image' | 'file' required

Asset kind. Each kind has its own MIME allowlist and size limit.

filenamestring required

Original filename supplied at upload (1–255 characters).

mimeTypestring required

MIME type stored for the asset after upload normalization.

descriptionstring nullable required

One-line description supplied at upload, edited later, or generated for dashboard uploads. null when absent.

category'logo' | 'icon' | 'photo' | 'illustration' | 'screenshot' | 'graphic' | 'background' | 'other' nullable required

Image category: logo, icon, photo, illustration, screenshot, graphic, background, or other. null for files and unclassified images.

byteSizeinteger required

Exact file size in bytes.

widthinteger nullable required

Intrinsic pixel width, recorded at finalize for images. null for non-images and formats whose dimensions cannot be read.

heightinteger nullable required

Intrinsic pixel height; see width.

transparentSharenumber nullable required

Fraction of the backdrop that shows through, weighting each pixel by its transparency: 0 for an opaque image, roughly the background area for a cutout, 0.5 for a uniform 50% overlay. null when unknown.

translucentSharenumber nullable required

Fraction of pixels with partial alpha (soft shadows, glows, fades, glass), excluding fully transparent and fully opaque pixels. null when unknown.

srcSetstring nullable required

Ready-to-use responsive image srcset. null when image transformation is unavailable.

variantsobject required

Optimized image URLs keyed by pixel width. Empty when image transformation is unavailable.

createdAtstring date-time required

When the upload was started.
