Go asset management

While using Cloudinary, all your images, videos, and other raw files are uploaded to Cloudinary. You can use our Media Library web interface to browse through and manage your uploaded media assets. In addition, you can use methods from the Upload and Admin APIs, which offer methods for managing, organizing, and creating media assets.

• Upload API methods can be used as needed.
• Admin API methods are rate-limited.
  You can view the number of hourly Admin API requests allowed by your Cloudinary plan in the Account page of your Console Settings.

Upload API example - delete a single asset

The following Go example uses the Upload API Destroy method to delete the video with public ID sample from your Cloudinary product environment:

resp, err := cld.Upload.Destroy(ctx, uploader.DestroyParams{
      PublicID: "sample", 
      ResourceType: "video"})

Admin API example - get details of a single asset

The following Go example uses the Admin API Asset method to return details of the image with public ID sample:

resp, err := cld.Admin.Asset(ctx, admin.AssetParams{
        PublicID:   "sample",
    })

The API call returns a struct with content similar to the following:
