upload-asset
Uploads media assets (images, videos, raw files) to your Cloudinary product environment Uploads media assets (images, videos, raw files) to your Cloudinary product environment. The file is securely stored in the cloud with backup and revision history. Cloudinary automatically analyzes and saves important data about each asset, such as format, size, resolution, and prominent colors, which is indexed to enable searching on those attributes. Supports uploading from: - Local file paths (SDKs/MC…
asset-rename
Updates an existing asset's identifier (public ID) and optionally other metadata in your Cloudinary account
generate-archive
Creates an archive (ZIP or TGZ file) that contains a set of assets from your product environment. Creates a downloadable ZIP or other archive format containing the specified resources.
download-asset-backup
Download a backup copy of an asset
delete-asset
Delete asset by asset-id Deletes an asset using its asset ID. This endpoint replaces the legacy /resources/by_asset_id endpoint. Returns the deletion status and asset folder information when folder decoupling is enabled.
list-images
Get image assets Retrieves a list of image assets. Results can be filtered by various criteria like tags, moderation status, prefix, or specific public IDs.
list-videos
Get video assets Retrieves a list of video assets. Results can be filtered by various criteria like tags, moderation status, prefix, or specific public IDs.
list-files
Get raw assets Retrieves a list of raw assets. Results can be filtered by various criteria like tags, moderation status, prefix, or specific public IDs.
get-asset-details
Get resource by asset ID Returns the details of a single resource specified by its asset ID.
asset-update
Updates an existing asset's metadata, tags, and other attributes using its asset ID Updates one or more attributes of a specified resource (asset) by its asset ID. This enables you to update details of an asset by its unique and immutable identifier, regardless of public ID, display name, asset folder, resource type or deliver type. Note that you can also update many attributes of an existing asset using the explicit method, which is not rate-limited.
list-tags
Retrieves a list of tags currently applied to assets in your Cloudinary account Retrieves a comprehensive list of all tags that exist in your product environment for assets of the specified type. [Cloudinary Admin API documentation](https://cloudinary.com/documentation/admin_api)
delete-derived-assets
Delete derived resources Deletes derived resources by derived resource ID
get-usage-details
Retrieves comprehensive usage metrics and account statistics A report on the status of product environment usage, including storage, credits, bandwidth, requests, number of resources, and add-on usage. No date parameter needed to get current usage statistics.
create-asset-relations
Add related assets by asset ID Relates an asset to other assets by their asset IDs, an immutable identifier, regardless of public ID, display name, asset folder, resource type or deliver type. This is a bidirectional process, meaning that the asset will also be added as a related_asset to all the other assets specified. The relation is also a one to many relationship, where the asset is related to all the assets specified, but those assets aren't also related to each other.
delete-asset-relations
Delete asset relations by asset ID Unrelates the asset from other assets, specified by their asset IDs, an immutable identifier, regardless of public ID, display name, asset folder, resource type or deliver type. This is a bidirectional process, meaning that the asset will also be removed as a related_asset from all the other assets specified.

search-assets
Provides a powerful query interface to filter and retrieve assets and their details Returns a list of resources matching the specified search criteria. Uses Lucene-like query language to search by descriptive attributes (public_id, filename, folder, tags, context), file details (resource_type, format, bytes, width, height), embedded data (image_metadata), and analyzed data (face_count, colors, quality_score). Supports aggregate counts and complex Boolean expressions. Examples: tags:shirt A…
visual-search-assets
Finds images in your asset library based on visual similarity or content Returns a list of resources that are visually similar to a specified image. You can provide the source image for comparison in one of three ways: - Provide a URL of an image - Specify the public ID or asset ID of an existing image - Provide a textual description
