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
Property nameTypePIIDescription
sidSID<ZN>
Not PII

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

Pattern: ^ZN[0-9a-fA-F]{32}$Min length: 34Max length: 34

account_sidSID<AC>

The SID of the Account that created the Asset Version resource.

Pattern: ^AC[0-9a-fA-F]{32}$Min length: 34Max length: 34

service_sidSID<ZS>

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

Pattern: ^ZS[0-9a-fA-F]{32}$Min length: 34Max length: 34

asset_sidSID<ZH>

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

Pattern: ^ZH[0-9a-fA-F]{32}$Min length: 34Max length: 34

pathstring
PII 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.


visibilityenum<string>

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

Possible values:
publicprivateprotected

urlstring<uri>

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.
