# Go asset management

While using Cloudinary, all your images, videos, and other raw files are uploaded to Cloudinary. You can use our [Media Library](https://console.cloudinary.com/console/media_library/search) web interface to browse through and manage your uploaded media assets. In addition, you can use methods from the [Upload](image_upload_api_reference) and [Admin](admin_api) 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 

In addition to the `upload` method, this API includes methods for:

* [renaming](image_upload_api_reference#rename_method) and [permanently deleting](image_upload_api_reference#destroy_method) individual assets
* adding [tags](image_upload_api_reference#tags_method), [contextual metadata](image_upload_api_reference#context_method) and [structured metadata](image_upload_api_reference#metadata_method) to assets 
* creating new assets such as [text images](image_upload_api_reference#text_method), [archives (zip or tgz)](image_upload_api_reference#generate_archive_method), and [animated images](image_upload_api_reference#multi)
* [modifying existing assets](image_upload_api_reference#explicit_method).

## Admin API

A secure API with methods for managing and organizing your media assets, including:

* [listing](admin_api#get_resources) and [restoring](admin_api#restore_resources) assets
* [bulk asset deleting](admin_api#delete_resources) 
* managing [upload presets](admin_api#upload_presets), [upload mappings](admin_api#upload_mappings), [transformations](admin_api#transformations), and [folders](admin_api#folders)
* [updating existing assets](admin_api#update_details_of_an_existing_resource)
* performing [advanced searches](search_method) on the assets in your product environment
* generating a [usage](admin_api#usage) report

	and [more](admin_api)...

> **INFO**: The default resource type for most API requests is `image`. When working with videos, remember to explicitly set the `resource_type` to `video`.

## Upload API example - delete a single asset

The following Go example uses the Upload API [Destroy](image_upload_api_reference#destroy) method to delete the video with public ID `sample` from your Cloudinary product environment:

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

Sample output:  

```go
&{
  result:ok
 }
```

> **TIP**: To delete multiple assets use the Admin API [DeleteAssets](admin_api#delete_resources) method.

For more Upload API examples in Go, select the `Go` tab in the [Upload API](image_upload_api_reference) reference.

## Admin API example - get details of a single asset

The following Go example uses the Admin API [Asset](admin_api#get_details_of_a_single_resource_by_public_id) method to return details of the image with public ID `sample`:

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

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

```go
&{
  AssetID:d5daa51b467c7fc9f290c4d89a47049e 
  PublicID:sample
