Overview
The "Get Asset Details" operation in the Crownpeak DQM node retrieves detailed information about a specific content asset managed within the Crownpeak Digital Quality Management (DQM) CMS. This node is useful for users who want to programmatically access metadata and properties of an asset, such as its status, associated website, or other descriptive details.
Typical use cases include:
- Fetching asset details to display or process them in workflows.
- Integrating asset metadata into reporting or auditing systems.
- Validating asset existence or attributes before performing further operations like updates or deletions.
For example, a user might automate quality checks by first retrieving asset details and then deciding whether to update or delete the asset based on its current state.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Asset Identifier | The unique identifier of the asset whose details you want to retrieve. |
Output
The output is a JSON array where each element corresponds to the detailed information of an asset requested. The structure of each JSON object depends on the Crownpeak DQM API response for asset details but typically includes fields such as asset ID, website ID, content metadata, status, timestamps, and other descriptive properties.
No binary data is returned by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Crownpeak DQM CMS API.
- Needs the base URL and website ID configured in the credentials or node parameters.
- The node makes HTTP GET requests to the Crownpeak DQM API endpoints.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing asset identifier will result in errors or empty responses.
- Incorrect or expired API key may cause authentication failures.
- Missing or incorrect website ID can lead to resource not found errors.
- Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.
Error messages:
"Unsupported operation": Indicates that the selected operation is not implemented; ensure "Get Asset Details" is chosen.- HTTP errors from the API (e.g., 401 Unauthorized, 404 Not Found) usually indicate credential or parameter issues.
Resolutions:
- Verify the asset ID is correct and exists in the target website.
- Confirm the API key is valid and has necessary permissions.
- Check that the website ID matches the asset's associated website.
- Ensure network access to the Crownpeak DQM API endpoint.
