Assets API

GET /service/rest/v1/assets

This endpoint allows us to iterate through a listing of assets contained in a given repository.

Let's get a listing of the assets in the maven-centralrepository:

curl -u admin:admin123 -X GET 'http://localhost:8081/service/rest/v1/assets?repository=maven-central'

This produces a response that is the first pages of many assets in that repository:

Example Response

{
  "items" : [ {
    "downloadUrl" : "http://localhost:8081/repository/maven-central/asm/asm/3.1/asm-3.1-sources.jar",
    "path" : "asm/asm/3.1/asm-3.1-sources.jar",
    "id" : "bWF2ZW4tY2VudHJhbDozZjVjYWUwMTc2MDIzM2I2MTRkZWJlOTExOGFjNjMwOQ",
    "repository" : "maven-central",
    "format" : "maven2",
    "checksum" : {
      "sha1" : "2eaa4de56203f433f287a6df5885ef9ad3c5bcae",
      "md5" : "0c0e3e83d9ce7907334c5eb519dab10c"
    }
  },
...
  ],
  "continuationToken" : "3f5cae01760233b6506547dc7be10e0b"
}

This endpoint uses a pagination strategy that can be used to iterate through all the assets if desired. Pagination defaults to offering 10 items at a time and cannot currently be configured to provide more.

Note that the ordering of assets is consistent across multiple queries and is not alphabetical.

GET /service/rest/v1/assets/{id}

This endpoint allows us to get the details of an individual asset.

curl -u admin:admin123 -X GET 'http://localhost:8081/service/rest/v1/assets/bWF2ZW4tY2VudHJhbDozZjVjYWUwMTc2MDIzM2I2MjRiOTEwMmMwMmNiYmU4YQ'

        "extension": "jar",
        "groupId": "org.apache.maven.plugins",
        "version": "2.2.1"
    },
    "path": "org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-source-plugin/2.2.1/maven-source-plugin-2.2.1.jar",
    "repository": "maven-central"
}

DELETE /service/rest/v1/assets/{id}

This endpoint can be used to delete an individual asset.

curl -u admin:admin123 -X DELETE 'http://localhost:8081/service/rest/v1/assets/bWF2ZW4tY2VudHJhbDozZjVjYWUwMTc2MDIzM2I2MjRiOTEwMmMwMmNiYmU4YQ'
