info:
  title: iconik Assets Metadata API
  description: 'iconik is a hybrid cloud media asset management (MAM) platform. Its public API is API-first and organized as versioned REST microservices under https://app.iconik.io/API/{service}/v1/. This document models the core logical APIs an integrator uses most: Assets and Collections (assets microservice), Metadata, Search, Files, and Jobs. Every request is authenticated with two headers - App-ID (application identifier) and Auth-Token (auth token) - generated by an administrator in the iconik web UI under Settings / Application Tokens. Requests and responses are JSON. List responses are paginated and return page metadata (page, pages, total). Endpoints are grounded in iconik''s published API reference; request and response schemas are honestly modeled and simplified where the interactive reference is the authoritative source of the full object shapes.'
