Entities

Get active entities by pointers

Returns the currently active (ready-to-use) entities for the given pointers. This is the primary endpoint for clients to query which asset bundles are available for display.

Pointers are unique identifiers for content locations:

  • For scenes: coordinates like "-53,71" or "-100,-50"
  • For wearables: URNs like "urn:decentraland:matic:collections-v2:0x..."

The response includes entities with their associated asset bundle content that are ready for use. If new content is currently being processed for a pointer, this endpoint will return the previous successfully converted version, ensuring clients always have something to render.
