  title: MediaValet Open API
  description: >-
    The MediaValet Open API is a RESTful, JSON, hypermedia-driven interface to the
    MediaValet cloud digital asset management (DAM) platform. It lets developers and
    partners automate the management of digital assets, categories, attributes,
    keywords, uploads, and users. Requests are made to the API gateway at
    https://api.mediavalet.com and must carry two credentials: an OAuth 2.0 (OIDC)
    Bearer access token obtained from https://login.mediavalet.com/connect/token, and a
    per-account subscription key sent in the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key header. Access
    to the API requires a MediaValet subscription and Developer Portal registration.
    The paths documented here are modeled from MediaValet's public developer
    documentation and community SDKs; verify exact request/response schemas against the
    live reference at docs.mediavalet.com.
