Introduction
The OpenSimulator asset service stores asset data (textures, serialized objects, scripts, etc.) and provides this on request.
API
GET:/assets
Uri format is
/assets/<asset-uuid>
e.g.
/assets/e0eb480b-e405-491d-8ed1-6d0ababe822c
There is no content in the request body.
If the asset was not found, you will receive a 404 status code response with an empty body.
If the asset was found then asset data will be returned. Sample return data is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <AssetBase> <Data>/0//UQAvAAAAAAEAAAABAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...</Data> <FullID> <Guid>f87f97ff-a493-4fb6-b263-1c8a0f1efc12</Guid> </FullID> <ID>f87f97ff-a493-4fb6-b263-1c8a0f1efc12</ID> <Name>test texture</Name> <Description>test one</Description> <Type>0</Type> <Local>false</Local> <Temporary>false</Temporary> <CreatorID>bbbbbbbb-bf88-45ac-aace-35bd76426c81</CreatorID> <Flags>Normal</Flags> </AssetBase>
where
- Data - Base64 encoding of the asset data. No maximum length.
- FullID - UUID of the asset. This is identical to ID for historical reasons.
- ID UUID of the asset. This is identical to ID for historical reasons.
- Name - the name of the asset in the database. This is not actively used since assets are referred to by their inventory names. Can be useful for debugging purposes. Maximum size is 64 characters.
- Description - Description of asset. This is not actively used but can be useful in debugging. Maximum size is 64 characters.
- Type - Type of asset. An integer that comes from OpenMetaverse.AssetType.
- Local - true or false. In other contexts signals whether asset is local to that simulator only. In the context of the asset service this should always be false.
- Temporary - true or false. Signals whether the asset should be treated as temporary (and so can be removed on simulator restart) or permanent (which is the usual case).
- CreatorID - The ID of the entity that created the asset. Often a UUID but not mandatory. This is not actively used but can be useful in debugging.
- Flags - Multiple flags must be comma separated (e.g. <Flags>Maptile,Collectable</Flags>). Each flag can have leading or trailing whitespace (e.g. <Flags>Maptile,Collectable</Flags>). Possible flags are
- Normal - Normal non-maptile immustable asset.
- Maptile - Maptile asset.
- Rewritable - Content can be rewritten
- Collectable - Asset can be removed after some time (this is poorly defined and may not currently be used).
One should not rely on this element order. One should also be prepared to ignore or otherwise deal with extra elements.
Sample scripts
#!/usr/bin/python import httplib conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("localhost", 8003); conn.request("GET", "/assets/f87f97ff-a493-4fb6-b263-1c8a0f1efc11") response = conn.getresponse() print "Status:" + str(response.status) print response.read();
POST:/assets
Uri format is
/assets
e.g.
Sample request body
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <AssetBase> <Data>/0//UQAvAAAAAAEAAAABAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...</Data> <FullID> <Guid>f87f97ff-a493-4fb6-b263-1c8a0f1efc12</Guid> </FullID> <ID>f87f97ff-a493-4fb6-b263-1c8a0f1efc12</ID> <Name>test texture</Name> <Description>test one</Description> <Type>0</Type> </AssetBase>
where
- Data - Base64 encoding of the asset data. No maximum length.
- FullID - UUID of the asset. This is identical to ID for historical reasons.
- ID UUID of the asset. This is identical to ID for historical reasons.
- Name - the name of the asset in the database. This is not actively used since assets are referred to by their inventory names. Can be useful for debugging purposes. Maximum size is 64 characters.
- Description - Description of asset. This is not actively used but can be useful in debugging. Maximum size is 64 characters.
- Type - Type of asset. An integer that comes from OpenMetaverse.AssetType.
- Local - true or false. Optional, defaults to false. In other contexts signals whether asset is local to that simulator only. In the context of the asset service this should always be false.
- Temporary - true or false. Options, defaults to false. Signals whether the asset should be treated as temporary (and so can be removed on simulator restart) or permanent (which is the usual case).
- CreatorID - The ID of the entity that created the asset. Optional, the default is blank. Often a UUID but not mandatory. This is not actively used but can be useful in debugging.
- Flags - Multiple flags must be comma separated (e.g. <Flags>Maptile,Collectable</Flags>). Each flag can have leading or trailing whitespace (e.g. <Flags>Maptile,Collectable</Flags>). Optional, the default is Normal. Possible flags are
- Normal - Normal non-maptile immustable asset.
- Maptile - Maptile asset.
- Rewritable - Content can be rewritten
- Collectable - Asset can be removed after some time (this is poorly defined and may not currently be used).
The order of elements is not important.
If the request is well-formed XML, then data in the form.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <string>f87f97ff-a493-4fb6-b263-1c8a0f1efc12</string>
is always returned where string contains the UUID of the asset posted.
From OpenSimulator 0.7.5 onwards, an HTTP status code of 400 (Bad Request) will be returned if the XML is not well-formed. In OpenSimulator 0.7.4 and previously, the simulator would simply drop the request and not respond.
