Supported Operations

Ci API

Create an Asset

Creates a new asset record without any content. The source file can be uploaded later using [http](https://developers.cimediacloud.com/#asset-multipart-upload) or [Aspera](https://developers.cimediacloud.com/#asset-aspera-upload) upload. This can be useful if you need to migrate a large number of assets into Ci but you may not have all of the source files available yet. You can also use it to create “to-be-made” assets that you are expecting other collaborators to create in the future. And don’t worry, you can always call [Get asset details](https://developers.cimediacloud.com/#assets-asset-get) to find out whether an asset record has had its content uploaded. <br><br>[API Docs](https://developers.cimediacloud.com/#assets-asset-post)

Get Multiple Assets' Details

Import to Created Asset

Initiates an import to an asset that has already been created but has not been backed by a source file yet. If you want to create the asset record and import its source file at the same time, use [Create Asset and Import](https://developers.cimediacloud.com/#asset-import-from-url-create-asset-and-import-post) instead.<br><br>[API Docs](https://developers.cimediacloud.com/#asset-import-from-url-import-to-created-asset-post)

Delete a Folder
