Asset Version


Asset Versions are specific instances of static files that you can host at a particular domain in an Environment.

The steps to create Assets are as follows:

  1. Create an Asset
  2. Create an Asset Version (this resource)

You will need the Asset Version SID that the create request returns to include this Asset in a Build.


Asset Version properties

asset-version-properties page anchor
Resource properties
sidtype: SID<ZN>Not PII

The unique string that we created to identify the Asset Version resource.


service_sidtype: SID<ZS>Not PII

The SID of the Service that the Asset Version resource is associated with.


asset_sidtype: SID<ZH>Not PII

The SID of the Asset resource that is the parent of the Asset Version.


pathtype: stringPII MTL: 7 days

The URL-friendly string by which the Asset Version can be referenced. It can be a maximum of 255 characters. All paths begin with a forward slash ('/'). If an Asset Version creation request is submitted with a path not containing a leading slash, the path will automatically be prepended with one.


visibilitytype: enum<STRING>Not PII

The access control that determines how the Asset Version resource can be accessed. Can be: public, protected, or private.

Possible values:
publicprivateprotected

date_createdtype: string<DATE TIME>Not PII

The date and time in GMT when the Asset Version resource was created specified in ISO 8601(link takes you to an external page) format.


urltype: string<URI>Not PII

The absolute URL of the Asset Version resource.


Create an Asset Version resource

create-an-asset-version-resource page anchor

Create an Asset Version resource to upload a file to an Asset resource. The Asset Version resource is created by making a POST request to a dedicated URL—a URL that is different from the URL used to read and fetch the resource.

https://serverless-upload.twilio.com/v1/Services/ {ServiceSid}/Assets/{AssetSid}/Versions

The following example creates an Asset Version resource using the language of your choice (or curl) and an external file, my-asset.png, which contains the Asset to upload.
