      description: This endpoint uses the newer, standard UUID format of 8-4-4-4-12, and letters are lowercase. See the example for `assetIds`, and [Note on identifiers](https://api.bynder.com/docs/getting-started#note-on-identifiers) for more information. Additionally, only one of the search parameters (`assetIds`, `imageUrl`, `imageData`, `textQuery`) should be provided per request. Providing multiple parameters will result in a `400` Bad Request response. Only OAuth2 authentication is supported for this endpoint, and permanent tokens are not accepted.
