Admin API reference

The Admin API is a rate-limited API that provides full control of all uploaded media assets (resources), fetched social profile pictures, generated transformations and more.

Overview

The Admin API endpoints are accessed using HTTPS. By default, the API endpoints use 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 backend 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 Python Node.js Java .NET Go cURL All

Ruby (cloudinary 1.x):

result = Cloudinary::Api
.resources

PHP (cloudinary_php 2.x):

$result = $api
->assets();

PHP (cloudinary_php 1.x (legacy)):

$result = $api
->resources();

Python (cloudinary 1.x):

result = cloudinary.api\
.resources()

Node.js (cloudinary 1.x):

cloudinary.v2.api
.resources()
.then(result=>console.log(result));

Java (cloudinary 1.x):

result = api.resources(ObjectUtils.emptyMap());

.NET (CloudinaryDotNet 1.x):

result = cloudinary.ListResources();

Go (cloudinary-go 1.x):

resp, err := cld.Admin.Assets(ctx, admin.AssetsParams{})

curl:

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

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 Python Node.js Java .NET Go All

Ruby (cloudinary 1.x):

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 (cloudinary_php 2.x):

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

PHP (cloudinary_php 1.x (legacy)):

$result = $api->resources();

php > int(500)
var_dump($result->rate_limit_remaining);
php > int(499)
var_dump($result->rate_limit_reset_at);
php > int(1570089600)

Python (cloudinary 1.x):

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 1.x):

cloudinary.v2.api
.resources()
.then(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 (cloudinary 1.x):

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 (CloudinaryDotNet 1.x):

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 Enterprise plans and must be arranged when the account is created. Contact support for more information.

Required parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
public_id	String	The public ID of the asset.

Optional parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
resource_type	String	The type of asset. Relevant as a parameter only when using the SDKs (the `resource_type` is included in the endpoint URL when using the REST API). Note: use `video` for all video and audio assets, such as .mp3. Possible values: `image` (default), `raw`, `video`.
type	String	The delivery type, relevant as a parameter only when using the SDKs (the `type` is included in the endpoint URL when using the REST API). Possible values: `upload`, `private`, `authenticated`, `facebook`, `twitter`, `gravatar`, `youtube`, `hulu`, `vimeo`, `animoto`, `worldstarhiphop`, `dailymotion`. Default: all.
colors	Boolean	Whether to include color information: predominant colors and histogram of 32 leading colors. Default: `false`.
image_metadata	Boolean	Whether to include IPTC, XMP, and detailed Exif metadata in the response. Default: `false`. This parameter applies to both `image` and `video` asset types (including audio files). The exact set of metadata fields that gets returned for an asset depends on the asset type. Note: Using this parameter also returns the asset's ETag value for all asset types, including raw.
exif	Boolean	Deprecated. Use image_metadata instead. Default: `false`.
faces	Boolean	Whether to include a list of coordinates of detected faces. Default: `false`.
quality_analysis	Boolean	Whether to return quality analysis scores for the image. Default: `false`.
accessibility_analysis	Boolean	Whether to return accessibility analysis scores for the image. Default: `false`.
pages	Boolean	Whether to report the number of pages in multi-page documents (e.g., PDF). Default: `false`.
phash	Boolean	Whether to include the perceptual hash (pHash) of the uploaded photo for image similarity detection. Default: `false`.
coordinates	Boolean	Whether to include previously specified custom cropping coordinates and faces coordinates. Default: `false`.
versions	Boolean	Whether to include details of all the backed up versions of the asset. Default: `false`.
max_results	Integer	Maximum number of derived assets to return (maximum=500). Default: `10`.
derived_next_cursor	String	If there are more derived images than `max_results`, the `derived_next_cursor` value is returned as part of the response. You can then specify this value as the `derived_next_cursor` parameter of the following request.

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 Python Node.js Java .NET Go CLI All

Ruby (cloudinary 1.x):

result = Cloudinary::Search.execute

PHP (cloudinary_php 2.x):

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

PHP (cloudinary_php 1.x (legacy)):

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

Python (cloudinary 1.x):

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

Node.js (cloudinary 1.x):

cloudinary.v2.search.execute().then(callback);

Java (cloudinary 1.x):

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

.NET (CloudinaryDotNet 1.x):

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

Go (cloudinary-go 1.x):

resp, err := cld.Admin.Search(ctx, search.Query{})

cli:

cld search

Note

Cloudinary implements eventual consistency: any changes made to assets will only be reflected in a search made a few seconds after the change is processed.

Optional parameters

All the parameters of the search method are optional. Including no parameters in the method call will return the 50 most recently created resources in descending order of creation time.

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 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).

Important

A new Search query object should be initialized for every distinct query executed. Please avoid reusing the same instance of a Search query object, as that might lead to unexpected behavior, especially when using the sort_by parameter.
When iterating through the results using the next_cursor parameter, the query should be reused without changing any of the other parameter values.
When making direct calls to the Cloudinary endpoint, make sure to pass any parameters using JSON (with Content-Type: application/json) as in the cURL examples on this page.

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 the upload method and Access mode.

public_ids	String[]	Delete all assets with the given public IDs (array of up to 100 public_ids).
prefix	String	Delete all assets, including derived assets, where the public ID starts with the given prefix (up to a maximum of 1000 original resources).
all	Boolean	Delete all assets (of the relevant resource_type and type), including derived assets (up to a maximum of 1000 original resources).

Optional parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
resource_type	String	The type of asset. Relevant as a parameter only when using the SDKs (the `resource_type` is included in the endpoint URL when using the REST API). Note: use `video` for all video and audio assets, such as .mp3. Possible values: `image` (default), `raw`, `video`.
type	String	The delivery type, relevant as a parameter only when using the SDKs (the `type` is included in the endpoint URL when using the REST API). Possible values: `upload`, `private`, `fetch`,`authenticated`, `facebook`, `twitter`, `gravatar`, `youtube`, `hulu`, `vimeo`, `animoto`, `worldstarhiphop`, `dailymotion`. Default: `upload`.
keep_original	Boolean	Whether to delete only the derived resources. Default: `false`.
invalidate	Boolean	Whether to also invalidate the copies of the resource on the CDN. It usually takes between a few seconds and a few minutes for the invalidation to fully propagate through the CDN. There are also a number of other important considerations to keep in mind when invalidating files. Note that by default this parameter is not enabled: if you need this parameter enabled, please open a support request. Default: `false`.
next_cursor	String	When a deletion request has more than 1000 resources to delete, the response includes the `partial` boolean parameter set to true, as well as a `next_cursor` value. You can then specify this returned `next_cursor` value as a parameter of the following deletion request.
transformations	String	Only the derived resources matching this hash of transformation parameters will be deleted.

Update transformation

Update a specific transformation.

Important

Before you modify the transformation parameters of a named transformation that's already used in production, make sure you're aware of all existing use cases. To mitigate risk, when you update the parameters of an existing named transformation, existing derived assets using the named transformation are not regenerated. However, if an asset using the named transformation is already in production and is later regenerated for another reason (for example, you invalidate it or adjust transformation parameters outside the named transformation), then the new named transformation definition is applied, and if that definition does not fit with the overall transformation defined for that asset, it could break your production asset.

Parameter	Type	Description
transformation	String	The name of the transformation or a listing of the transformation parameters.

Optional parameters

Parameter Type Description

allowed_for_strict Boolean Whether to allow this named transformation when strict transformations are enabled. Default: false.

unsafe_update

String

Parameter	Type	Description
allowed_for_strict	Boolean	Whether to allow this named transformation when strict transformations are enabled. Default: `false`.
unsafe_update	String	Required when modifying the transformation parameters of an existing named transformation. The new transformation definition for the named transformation. Because the changed definition can be unsafe for (significantly change) assets in production, the change is applied only to newly generated derived assets that reference this named transformation. To apply the change to existing derived assets using this named transformation, invalidate them so that they'll be regenerated with the new definition when next requested.

Delete transformation

Delete a single transformation. Supply either the name of the transformation or the transformation parameters.

Note

Deleting a transformation also deletes all the derived assets based on this transformation (up to 1000).

If there are more than 1000 derived assets based on this transformation, the method returns a 403 error: Unable to delete transformation because it has too many derived resources.
