Is it possible to create an image conversion via API?

Roberto_Baranzi — Sun, 26 Apr 2020 09:55:32 GMT

Could you please tell me is it possible (and how) to add a new picture conversion to an existing picture document in Nuxeo Platform?

My use case is the following, I can upload a picture file to the platform and after some time I would like to upload via API a file containing the same picture, but in a different size or mime-type. In this case, Nuxeo should treat the uploaded file only as a conversion of the existing image and not a new asset.

I have gone through the documentation of Nuxeo but cannot seem to find the answer to my question.

Hello,

Here are several documentation link which will probably help you:

Principals are detailed here: https://doc.nuxeo.com/nxdoc/how-to-contribute-a-command-line-converter/
Another example: https://doc.nuxeo.com/nxdoc/how-to-contribute-picture-conversions/

As for the REST API calls for conversions, you need to use a web adapter: https://doc.nuxeo.com/nxdoc/rest-api-web-adapters/, so like http://NUXEO_SERVER/nuxeo/api/v1/id/{docId}/@convert?format=pdf

You can choose to use a specific property (of type blob) to store a file (which could be a conversion or anything else).
