Is there automation API for DAM?

[Fei_Yan]

Hello, I wonder what would be the best practice to do direct API communication with DAM? I cannot find any document but this one: http://doc.nuxeo.com/display/DAMDOC55/Import

Obviously it's not automation API. Wonder how developers should communicate with it.

Also wonder how to call conversion service to convert video and resize images etc.

Hi,

All the assets stored in DAM are Nuxeo documents. So you can use the Content Automation API for DAM.

Hi Laurent, but when I upload a file through automation API, it doesn't auto populate all the EXIF/XMP/Dublin properties of the file. It's different from importing from the DAM web interface.

I wonder how to call the video conversion/transcoding through any of the API.
