Assets API

Assets API Reference

Note: This page is primarily intended for developers who will be writing applications that will use DataTrails for provenance. If you are looking for a simple way to test our API you might prefer our Postman collection, the YAML runner or the Developers section of the web UI.
Additional YAML examples can be found in the articles in the Overview section.

Note: For more information on Assets and Asset creation, visit our Core Concepts and Creating an Asset guide.

Asset API Examples

Create the bearer_token and store in a file in a secure local directory with 0600 permissions.

Asset Record Creation

Define the asset parameters and store in /path/to/jsonfile:

cat > /tmp/asset.json <<EOF
{
  "behaviours": ["RecordEvidence"],
  "attributes": {
    "arc_display_type": "Cat",
    "arc_display_name": "My Cat",
    "weight": "3.6kg"
  },
  "public": false
}
EOF

Create the Asset:

curl -X POST \
    -H "@$HOME/.datatrails/bearer-token.txt" \
    -H "Content-type: application/json" \
    -d "@/tmp/asset.json" \
    https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/v2/assets

The response:

{
  "identity": "assets/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "behaviours": [
    "RecordEvidence",
    "AssetCreator",
    "Builtin"
  ],
  "attributes": {
    "arc_display_type": "Cat",
    "arc_display_name": "My Cat",
    "weight": "3.6kg"
  },
  "confirmation_status": "PENDING",
  "tracked": "TRACKED",
  "owner": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "at_time": "2024-09-04T23:35:13Z",
  "proof_mechanism": "MERKLE_LOG",
  "chain_id": "xxxxxxxxxx",
  "public": false,
  "tenant_identity": "tenant/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
}

Updating an Asset Attribute

To update an Asset attribute, record an Event and enter the new value. Here we will update the weight of the cat from the previous example.

See the Events API reference for more information about Events.

{
    "operation": "Record",
    "behaviour": "RecordEvidence",
    "event_attributes": {
       "arc_display_type": "groom",
       "additional_checks": "weigh the cat"
    },
    "asset_attributes": {   
       "weight": "3.5kg"
    },
    "public": false
}

POST the Event to update the Asset:

curl -X POST \
    -H "@$HOME/.datatrails/bearer-token.txt" \
    -H "Content-type: application/json" \
    -d "@/path/to/jsonfile" \
    https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/v2/assets/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/events

    "merklelog_entry": {
        "commit": null,
        "confirm": null,
        "unequivocal": null
    }
}

Creating a Public Asset

Warning: Assets can only be made public at Asset creation and cannot be made private afterwards.

In most cases it is appropriate to create a standard Asset. These Assets can only be shared externally using Access Policies as described in Sharing Assets with OBAC or the IAM Policies API Reference.

However, it is also possible to create a Public Asset which can be shared with a read-only public url; similar to the link sharing you may have seen in file sharing services like Google Drive or DropBox.

Public Assets can be used for Public Attestation, where you may wish to publicly assert data you have published.

For example, the vulnerability reports against an OpenSource software package, or perhaps the maintenance records for a public building.

Creating a Public Asset just requires flipping the public value in the above request to true. From then on, only the creating Tenancy may update the Asset and Events on a Public Asset through their private, signed-in interface.

All Public Assets are then given a read-only public URL that can be retrieved using Fetch a Public Asset’s URL, any Events added to that Public Asset will also get their own unique Public URL that can be retrieved with Fetch a Public Asset’s Event URL.

This link can be shared with anyone to give them read-only access to the Asset or Event without the need to sign in.

To interact with the unauthenticated Public Interface for a Public Asset see the Public Assets API Reference. To update the Assets and Events as the creating Tenant on a Public Asset’s authenticated Private Interface, you would still use the standard Assets and Events API as normal.

Creating a Document Profile Asset

This class of Asset conforms to the Document Profile Developer Pattern, which allows you to trace the lifecycle of a document.

Define the asset parameters and store in /path/to/jsonfile:

{
    "attributes": {
        "arc_description":"Test Document",
        "arc_display_type":"Marketing glossy",
        "arc_display_name":"Test Document Profile Asset",
        "arc_profile":"Document",
        "document_hash_value":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
        "document_hash_alg":"sha256",
        "document_version":"1",
        "document_status":"Published",
        "some_custom_attribute":"anything you like"
    },
    "chain_id":"",
    "behaviours": [
        "Builtin",
        "RecordEvidence"
    ]
}

Note: Document Profile Assets must be set to public to be compatible with Instaproof verification.

Create the Asset:

curl -X POST \
    -H "@datatrails-bearer.txt" \
    -H "Content-type: application/json" \
    -d "@/path/to/jsonfile" \
    https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/v2/assets

The response is:

{
    "identity": "assets/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "behaviours": [
        "Builtin",
        "RecordEvidence"
    ],
    "attributes": {
        "arc_profile": "Document",
        "document_version": "1",
        "some_custom_attribute": "anything you like",
        "document_status": "Published",
        "arc_description": "Test Document",
        "arc_display_type": "Marketing glossy",
        "document_hash_value": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
        "arc_display_name": "Test Document Profile Asset",
        "document_hash_alg": "sha256"
    },
    "confirmation_status": "PENDING",
    "tracked": "TRACKED",
    "owner": "",
    "at_time": "2023-09-27T11:32:22Z",
    "storage_integrity": "TENANT_STORAGE",
    "chain_id": "8275868384",
    "public": false,
    "tenant_identity": ""
}

Asset Record Retrieval

Asset records in DataTrails are tokenized at creation time and referred to in all API calls and smart contracts throughout the system by a unique identity of the form:

assets/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

If you do not know the Asset’s identity you can fetch Asset records using other information you do know.

Fetch All Assets

To fetch all Asset records, simply GET the Assets resource:

curl -X GET \
     -H "@$HOME/.datatrails/bearer-token.txt" \
     https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/v2/assets?page_size=5

Fetch Specific Asset by Identity

If you know the unique identity of the Asset record simply GET the resource:

curl -X GET \
     -H "@$HOME/.datatrails/bearer-token.txt" \
     https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/v2/assets/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

Fetch Specific Asset at Given Point in Time by Identity

If you know the unique identity of an Asset record and want to show its state at any given point in the past, simply GET with the following query parameter:

curl -X GET \
     -H "@$HOME/.datatrails/bearer-token.txt" \
     "https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/v2/assets/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx?at_time=2021-01-13T12:34:21Z"

This will return the Asset record with the values it had on 2021-01-13T12:34:21Z.

Fetch Assets by Name

To fetch all Assets with a specific name, GET the Assets resource and filter on arc_display_name:

curl -g -X GET \
     -H "@$HOME/.datatrails/bearer-token.txt" \
     "https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/v2/assets?attributes.arc_display_name=tcl.ccj.003"

Fetch Assets by Type

To fetch all Assets of a specific type, GET the Assets resource and filter on arc_display_type:

curl -g -X GET \
     -H "@$HOME/.datatrails/bearer-token.txt" \
     "https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/v2/assets?attributes.arc_display_type=Traffic%20light"

Fetch Assets by Proof Mechanism

To fetch all Assets that use a specific Proof Mechanism, GET the Assets resource and filter on proof_mechanism:

curl -g -X GET \
     -H "@$HOME/.datatrails/bearer-token.txt" \
     "https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/v2/assets?proof_mechanism=MERKLE_LOG"

Fetch Events Ordered for SIMPLEHASHV1 Schema

To fetch Simple Hash Events in the order needed for the SIMPLEHASHV1 schema, GET the Assets resource, specifying a specific Asset ID or using assets/-/events to fetch Events for all Assets:

curl -g -X GET \
     -H "@$HOME/.datatrails/bearer-token.txt" \
     "https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/v2/assets/-/events?order_by=SIMPLEHASHV1"

Fetch Assets by Filtering for Presence of a Field

To fetch all Assets with a field set to any value, GET the Assets resource and filter on most available fields. For example:

curl -g -X GET \
     -H "@$HOME/.datatrails/bearer-token.txt" \
     "https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/v2/assets?attributes.arc_display_name=*"

Returns all Assets which have arc_display_name that is not empty.

Fetch Assets Which are Missing a Field

To fetch all Assets with a field which is not set to any value, GET the Assets resource and filter on most available fields. For example:

curl -g -X GET \
     -H "@$HOME/.datatrails/bearer-token.txt" \
     "https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/v2/assets?attributes.arc_display_name!=*"

Returns all Assets which do not have arc_display_name or in which arc_display_name is empty.

Fetch a Public Asset’s URL

Fetch the Public URL of a Public Asset:

curl -g -X GET \
     -H "@$HOME/.datatrails/bearer-token.txt" \
     https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/v2/assets/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx:publicurl

{
  "publicurl":"https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/publicassets/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
}

Fetch a Public Asset’s Event URL

Fetch the Public URL of an Event on a Public Asset:

     -H "@$HOME/.datatrails/bearer-token.txt" \
     https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/v2/assets/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/events/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx:publicurl

{
  "publicurl":"https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/publicassets/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/events/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
}

Tracking and Untracking Assets

While deleting Assets is not possible, it is possible to hide them from default searches so that old or obsolete records don’t crowd out the tenant estate or show up in partner tenancies when they shouldn’t.

Untracking an Asset

Untracking is actually an Event in the Asset lifecycle, so it is necessary to know the Asset identity and POST to it directly. Here we assume we are working with an Asset with identity assets/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.

Define the Event parameters and store in /path/to/jsonfile:

{
  "operation": "StopTracking",
  "behaviour": "Builtin"
}

Untrack the Asset:

curl -X POST \
    -H "@$HOME/.datatrails/bearer-token.txt" \
    -H "Content-type: application/json" \
    -d "@/path/to/jsonfile" \
    https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/v2/assets/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/events

The response is:

{
  "identity": "assets/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/events/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "asset_identity": "assets/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "event_attributes": {},
  "asset_attributes": {},
  "operation": "StopTracking",
  "behaviour": "Builtin",
  "timestamp_declared": "2023-02-23T19:55:44Z",
  "timestamp_accepted": "2023-02-23T19:55:44Z",
  "timestamp_committed": "1970-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  "principal_declared": {
    "issuer": "idp.synsation.io/1234",
    "subject": "phil.b",
    "email": "phil.b@synsation.io"
  },
  "principal_accepted": {
    "issuer": "job.idp.server/1234",
    "subject": "bob@job"
  },
  "confirmation_status": "PENDING",
  "transaction_id": "",
  "block_number": 0,
  "transaction_index": 0,
  "from": "",
  "tenant_identity": ""
}

(Re-)Tracking an Asset

It is possible to reverse an untracking Event by tracking the Asset again, assuming you know the Asset identity. Here we assume we are working with an Asset with identity assets/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.

Define the Event parameters and store in /path/to/jsonfile:

{
  "operation": "StartTracking",
  "behaviour": "Builtin"
}

Track the Asset:

curl -X POST \
    -H "@$HOME/.datatrails/bearer-token.txt" \
    -H "Content-type: application/json" \
    -d "@/path/to/jsonfile" \
    https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/v2/assets/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/events

The response is:

{
  "identity": "assets/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/events/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "asset_identity": "assets/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "event_attributes": {},
  "asset_attributes": {},
  "operation": "StartTracking",
  "behaviour": "Builtin",
  "timestamp_declared": "2023-02-23T19:55:44Z",
  "timestamp_accepted": "2023-02-23T19:55:44Z",
  "timestamp_committed": "1970-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  "principal_declared": {
    "issuer": "idp.synsation.io/1234",
    "subject": "phil.b",
    "email": "phil.b@synsation.io"
  },
  "principal_accepted": {
    "issuer": "job.idp.server/1234",
    "subject": "bob@job"
  },
  "confirmation_status": "PENDING",
  "transaction_id": "",
  "block_number": 0,
  "transaction_index": 0,
