Public Assets API

Public 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.

Public Assets API Examples

Public Assets are created using the Assets API and setting the value of public to true.

To see more information about creating a Public Asset, see Creating a Public Asset.

Each Public Asset has a private and a public interface. The private interface is used to update the Asset by the creating Tenancy and the public interface is a read-only view of the Asset that you do not need to be authenticated for.

The methods described below cover interacting with the public interface only. To interact with the private interface, use the standard Assets API.

Note: Visit the Public Attestation guide for more information.

eventsarrayThis describes an Event.
next_page_tokenstringToken to retrieve the next page of results or empty if there are none.
ResponsesDescription
200A successful response.
206The number of events exceeds the servers limit. The approximate number of matching results is provided by the x-total-count header, the exact limit is available in the content-range header. The value format is ‘items 0-LIMIT/TOTAL’. Note that x-total-count is always present for 200 and 206 responses. It is the servers best available approximation. Similarly, in any result set, you may get a few more than LIMIT items.
