Update Asset REST API Asset Not found error

Help & Support
1

Hi,

I’m trying to use the Update Asset REST API to update an .json file that exists only in my dev branch for now. But all I get in response is a 404 error with the content “{“error”:“Asset not found”}”

I’m using the doc found in Assets - Update asset | PlayCanvas Developer Site

I assume I’m getting this error because it doesn’t exists in main yet. Although in the docs there is no mention regarding specifing a branchId, I found some posts here in the forum mentioning it, so I tried to use it, but the error remains the same.

Also, here’s a print of the asset I’m trying to update

Here’s the cURL I’m currently trying to use.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <Token>" -X PUT -F 'name=./Configurations/env.json' -F 'branchId=e345ff75-523f-44a8-b240-4643c84007b9' -F 'file=env.json' "https://playcanvas.com/api/assets/167021433" --ssl-no-revoke

What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks!

Just found it. It was missing an @ in the file parameter and the name parameter should be only the name of the file, without any kind of path.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <Token>" -X PUT -F 'name=env.json' -F 'branchId=e345ff75-523f-44a8-b240-4643c84007b9' -F 'file=@env.json' "https://playcanvas.com/api/assets/167021433" --ssl-no-revoke

Anyhow, the docs should be updated with the name and branchId parameters.
