Asset Management
Download asset content
Redirects (302) to a signed URL for the asset's own bytes, valid for 5 minutes. The asset does NOT need to be published — this is the private read path. The redirect is Cache-Control: private, no-store: the URL is the credential, so follow it and do not keep it.
USE THIS WHEN:
- Fetching your own asset's bytes from a script, SDK or CLI
- Previewing an asset you do not want on a public URL
DO NOT USE WHEN:
- You want a stable, cacheable, public URL → publish the asset (POST /api/v1/assets/update with published=true) and use publicUrl
get/api/v1/assets/{id}/content
Request
- Base URL: https://api.imagestep.dev
