Get all the images from a workspace for v3

Objective: get a list of all the images in a Workspace. You will need the Workspace ID. This list will contain, for each image, details such as: image name, creation date, traits, comments, etc.
This page contains the implementation details for v3 REST APIs and for v3 GraphQL APIs. You can also see the example for v2 REST APIs.

Implementation using REST APIs

Endpoint	/v3/workspaces/<workspaceId>/elements?type=Image
Method	GET
Comments	You need to know the workspace ID.

Code sample

See below code samples in Python and Node.js.

curl --location --request GET '/v3/workspaces/<workspaceId>/elements?type=Image' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <SET_TOKEN>' 

# Python Code (python 3.5+)
import requests
import pprint

'''
Required modules:
   requests 2.22.0
'''

token = '<SET_TOKEN>'

if __name__ == "__main__":
   portal = ""
   workspaceId = '<SET_WORKSPACE_ID>'   
   API_version = 'v3'

   # Get all the images from a workspace

   API_endpoint = '/' + API_version + '/workspaces/' + workspaceId + '/elements?type=Image'

   the_request = requests.get(
       portal + API_endpoint,
       headers={"Authorization": "Bearer " + token,
                "Content-Type": "application/json"
                }
   )

   json_response = the_request.json()

   pprint.pprint(json_response)

// Node.js Javascript   
/*

How to run:
node this_script_name.js

Requires "axios" module (0.19.0), run:
npm install axios

website: https://github.com/axios/axios

*/

var axios = require('axios');

const token = '<SET_TOKEN>';
const portal = '';
const workspaceId = '<SET_WORKSPACE_ID>';
const api_version = 'v3';
const api_endpoint = '/workspaces/' + workspaceId + '/elements?type=Image';

var request_values = {
    url: portal + '/' + api_version + api_endpoint,
    method : 'GET' ,
    headers : {
        'Authorization': "Bearer " + token,
        'Content-Type' : 'application/json'    
    }
};

axios(request_values)
    .then(function (response) {
        if (response.status == 200)
        {
            console.log("Success");
            console.log(response.data);
        }
    })
    .catch (function (error) {
        console.log('Error: ' + error.message);
    });               

You can modify this script to return a list of each specific object from the workspace by changing the last element in the API entrypoint: API_endpoint = '/v3/workspaces/' + workspaceId + '/elements?type=Image'. Here, replace the final 'Image' element with:

• "Document"
• "Note"
• "Image"
• "Text"
• "Canvas"
• "Browser"
• "Stroke"
• "Video"
• "Grid"
• "Shape"
• "Line"

OUTPUT

What you should get: JSON with the list of all images in the workspace

Element	Json	Comments
Image ID	['data'][N]['id']	where N is the N-th image in the list.
Image Title	['data'][N]['title']	where N is the N-th image in the list.
Image URL	['data'][N]['url']	where N is the N-th image in the list.

        }

} 

Please note that the url field under asset is the URL you can use to download that particular image or asset. This is a signed URL, with an expiration time.

Implementation using v3 GraphQL APIs

Query	elements
Comments	You need to know the workspaceId

Example Query:

query getImagesFromWorkspace($workspaceId: String!){
  elements(workspaceId: $workspaceId, type: Image) {
    __typename
    id
  }
} 

Code sample

See below for full code examples of this implementation in Python and Node.js.

--header 'Authorization: Bearer <SET_TOKEN>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{"query":"query getImagesFromWorkspace($workspaceId: String!){\n  elements(workspaceId: $workspaceId, type: Image) {__typename id }\n}\n","variables":{"workspaceId":"<workspaceId>"}}'

        }
    } `
const variables = {   
    workspaceId: "<SET_WORKSPACEID>"
}
const getImagesInWorkspaces = async () => {
