API Overview

The Admin API is accessed using HTTPS to endpoints. By default, the API endpoint uses the following format:

https://api.cloudinary.com/v1_1/:cloud_name/:action

For example, to list all video assets in the 'demo' account:

GET https://api.cloudinary.com/v1_1/demo/resources/video

The API uses Basic Authentication over secure HTTP. Your Cloudinary API Key and API Secret (which can be found on the Dashboard page of your Cloudinary console) are used for the authentication.

You can experiment with returning a list of the images on your own Cloudinary account by replacing the API_KEY, API_SECRET, and CLOUD_NAME in the cURL command below:

curl https://<API_KEY>:<API_SECRET>@api.cloudinary.com/v1_1/<CLOUD_NAME>/resources/image

For most actions, request parameters are appended to the URL. In a few cases, they are passed as JSON objects. The response is in a JSON snippet. The response includes information about the action that was performed as well as data about the relevant assets.

Using SDKs with the Admin API

Our server-side SDK libraries provide a wrapper for the Admin API, enabling you to use your native programming language of choice. When using an SDK, request building and authentication are handled automatically, and the JSON response is parsed and returned.

For example, you can use the following SDK command to return a listing of all image (the default resource_type) assets:

Ruby PHP v1 PHP v2 Python Node.js Java .NET CLI All

Ruby:

Cloudinary::Api.resources

PHP v1:

$api->resources();

PHP v2:

$api->assets();

Python:

cloudinary.api.resources()

Node.js:

cloudinary.v2.api.resources(
function(error, result) {console.log(result, error); });

Java:

api.resources(ObjectUtils.emptyMap());

.NET:

cloudinary.ListResources();

CLI:

cld admin resources

Using the CLI to access the Admin API

You can use the Cloudinary CLI (Command Line Interface) to interact with the admin API. This can provide an easy way to add automation to your workflows and manage your assets without the need for a formal coding environment or having to access your management console.

You can find instructions for setting up and using the CLI in the CLI reference.

Error handling

The Admin API returns the status of requests using HTTP status codes:

200: OK | Success.
400: Bad request.
401: Authorization required.
403: Not allowed.
404: Not found.
409: Already exists.
420: Rate limited.

The SDKs report errors by raising applicative exceptions. Additionally, an informative JSON message is returned. For example:

{ "error": { "message": "Resource not found - 5traNge_nam3" } }

Usage limits

You can use the Admin API quite extensively, but it is a rate limited API. The specific limits depend on the plan your account is registered to. If you require more flexible limits, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Note

This limit refers only to Admin API requests, and not to requests that use the Upload API, which is not rate-limited. In some cases, you may be able to use certain methods of the Upload API to achieve some administration goals. For example, you can modify or remove tags for one or multiple resources using the tags method. You can modify many attributes of an individual resource using the explicit method, and you can return most details about a single (original) resource in response to any upload or explicit method call.

For each Admin API call, standard HTTP headers are returned with details on your current usage statistics, including your per-hour limit, remaining number of actions and the time the hourly count will be reset.

The header might look something like this:

X-FeatureRateLimit-Limit: 500
X-FeatureRateLimit-Remaining: 499
X-FeatureRateLimit-Reset: Wed, 03 Oct 2012 08:00:00 GMT

You can use the SDKs to retrieve this data as follows:

Ruby PHP v1 PHP v2 Python Node.js Java .NET All

Ruby:

result = Cloudinary::Api.resources
result.rate_limit_allowed
=> 500
$ result.rate_limit_remaining
=> 499
$ result.rate_limit_reset_at
=> 2019-10-03 10:00:00 +0200

PHP v1:

$result = $api->assets();
var_dump($result->rate_limit_allowed);
php > int(500)
var_dump($result->rate_limit_remaining);
php > int(499)
var_dump($result->rate_limit_reset_at);
php > int(1570089600)

PHP v2:

$result = $api->assets();
var_dump($result->rateLimitAllowed);
php > int(500)
var_dump($result->rateLimitRemaining);
php > int(499)
var_dump($result->rateLimitResetAt);
php > int(1570089600)

Python:

result = cloudinary.api.resources()
result.rate_limit_allowed
>>>500
result.rate_limit_remaining
>>>499
result.rate_limit_reset_at
>>>(2019, 10, 3, 08, 0, 0, 0, 1, -1)

Node.js:

cloudinary.v2.api.resources(
function(error, result) {
  console.log(result.rate_limit_allowed,
              result.rate_limit_remaining,
              result.rate_limit_reset_at);
});

> 500 499 Sun, 03 Oct 2019 08:00:00 GMT

Java:

ApiResponse result = api.resources(ObjectUtils.emptyMap());
System.out.println(result.apiRateLimit().getLimit());
=> 500
System.out.println(result.apiRateLimit().getRemaining());
=> 499
System.out.println(result.apiRateLimit().getReset());
=> 2019-10-03 10:00:00 +0200

.NET:

var result = cloudinary.ListResources();
result.Limit
// returns 500
result.Remaining
// returns 499
result.Reset
//returns  2019-10-03 10:00:00 +0200

Tip

You can also retrieve rate limits details as well as transformation, bandwidth, and storage limits, and a variety of additional account usage data with the GET /usage method.

Pagination

The GET methods of the API return a limited set of results, ordered by the creation time of the relevant entities. You can control the number of results returned in a single request by specifying the max_results parameter. The default is 10 for most methods. There is also a maximum number of results you can request for a single API call (either 100 or 500 as documented for each of the relevant methods). DELETE methods also operate in chunks.

When a GET request has more results to return than max_results or when a DELETE request has more than 1000 entities to delete, the next_cursor value is returned as part of the response. You can then specify this cursor value as the next_cursor parameter of the following GET or DELETE request. For example, this enables you to iterate through the full list of uploaded resources, transformations, or tags in your Cloudinary account or to delete an entire set of entities that matches your deletion request.

Alternative data centers and endpoints (premium feature)

By default, Cloudinary accounts use US-based data centers. In these cases, the endpoint format is as shown at the beginning of this Overview.

If the majority of your users are located in Europe or Asia, Cloudinary can set up your account to use our Europe (EU) or Asia Pacific (AP) data center. In that case, your endpoints will take the form:

https://api-eu.cloudinary.com/v1_1/:cloud_name/:action

https://api-ap.cloudinary.com/v1_1/:cloud_name/:action

Note

This is a premium feature that is supported only for our Custom plans and must be arranged when the account is created. Contact support for more information.

Search for resources

Search allows you fine control on filtering and retrieving information on all the resources (assets) in your account with the help of query expressions in a Lucene-like query language.

For detailed information on the search method and building expressions, see the Search API documentation.

Note

Request parameters cannot be appended to the endpoint URL as in the other Admin API methods. Search API parameters are passed as JSON data.

Syntax

GET /resources/search

Ruby PHP v1 PHP v2 Python Node.js Java .NET CLI All

Ruby:

result = Cloudinary::Search.execute

PHP v1:

result = \Cloudinary\search->execute();

PHP v2:

result = $cloudinary->searchApi()->execute();

Python:

result = cloudinary.Search().expression().execute()

Node.js:

cloudinary.v2.search.execute().then(result=>console.log(result));

Java:

result = cloudinary.search().execute();

.NET:

SearchResult result = cloudinary.Search().Execute();

CLI:

cld search

Optional parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
expression	String	The (Lucene-like) string expression specifying the search query. If this parameter is not provided then all resources are listed (up to `max_results`). For details, see the expressions section in the Search API documentation..
sort_by	String[]	An array of string values representing a key value pair, where the key is the field to sort by and the value is the direction. Valid sort directions are `asc` or `desc`. If this parameter is not provided then the results are sorted by descending creation date. You can specify more than one `sort_by` parameter; results will be sorted according to the order of the fields provided.
max_results	Integer	Maximum number of assets to return (maximum=500). Default: `10`.
next_cursor	String	When a request has more results to return than `max_results`, the `next_cursor` value is returned as part of the response. You can then specify this value as the `next_cursor` parameter of the following request.
with_field	String	The name of an additional asset attribute to include for each asset in the response. You can specify more than one `with_field` parameter. Possible value: `context`, `tags`, and for Tier 2 also `image_metadata`, and `image_analysis`.
aggregate	String	(Tier 2 only) The name of a field (attribute) for which an aggregation count should be calculated and returned in the response. You can specify more than one `aggregate` parameter. Supported values: `resource_type`, `type`, `pixels` (only the image assets in the response are aggregated), `duration` (only the video assets in the response are aggregated), `format`, and `bytes`. For aggregation fields without discrete values, the results are divided into categories. For example: - `bytes` are divided into small (<500 kb), medium (500 kb - 5 mb), large (5 mb - 100 mb), and huge (>100 mb). - Video `duration` is divided into short (< 3 minutes), medium (3-12 min), and long (> 12 min).

Update access mode

Update the access_mode of resources (assets) by public_id(s), by tag, or by prefix. When access_mode = 'authenticated', uploaded resources of type 'upload' behave as if they are of type 'authenticated'. The resource can later be made public by changing its access_mode to 'public', without having to update any image delivery URLs. In the case where public images are reverted to authenticated by changing their access_mode to 'authenticated', all the existing original and derived versions of the images are also invalidated on the CDN.

Note

You can only update the access_mode of an asset that was already assigned an access_mode when uploaded. For more details, see: Upload method and Access mode.
