How can I obtain a list of orphan assets?

Written by Lucien Berkani

The term "orphan asset" is used to describe an asset that is no longer linked to any active document in the PIM.

To obtain a list of the orphan assets, you can use:

The export :

Export the assets

Export the document - asset links

Once you've done this, simply cross-reference the two files, comparing the asset codes and extracting the assets that have no links with a document, i.e. that are present in the media file, but not in the link file.

Assets file :

Links file :

The API:

Use the GET /api/assets API and extract results that have no linked documents

Keywords: assets, orphans, document-asset links
