Why use Dynamic Media with OpenAPI capabilities? dynamic-media-open-api-features
Dynamic Media with OpenAPI capabilities provides the following key benefits:
-
Seamless integrations: Dynamic Media with OpenAPI capabilities offers a comprehensive set of search and delivery APIs. It allows your developers to easily integrate delivery of assets with their applications. The applications include ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ as well as third-party applications. It provides a Micro Frontend assets selector user interface to search and select approved assets. The selector can be effortlessly integrated with any application based on JavaScript frameworks such as React JS, Angular JS, and Vanilla JS.
-
Centralized management of digital assets: DAM is the single source of truth for all digital assets. Your digital assets are managed centrally in AEM Assets and delivered to consuming applications by reference using delivery URLs, without copying asset binaries.
-
Real-time updates: Any changes made to approved assets in DAM, including version updates and metadata modifications, are automatically reflected in the delivery URLs. With a short Time-to-Live (TTL) value of 10 minutes configured for Dynamic Media with OpenAPI capabilities via CDN, updates become visible across all authoring and published interfaces in under 10 minutes.
-
Brand consistency: Only brand-approved assets are exposed to downstream applications. Brand Managers and Marketers maintain strict control over brand assets. Only approved and latest version of the asset is available for use, ensuring brand consistency across all channels and applications.
-
Web-optimized delivery: Digital assets are delivered in web-optimized formats to enhance your digital experiences’ Core Web Vitals. This includes support for WebP renditions for images, adaptive streaming through HLS or DASH protocols for videos, and original renditions for documents.
-
Dynamic asset transformation: Our system allows for on-the-fly image transformation using URL parameters known as image modifiers. For example, width, height, rotate, flip, quality, crop, format, and smart crop. Transformed renditions are generated dynamically and delivered seamlessly via the CDN.
-
Secure delivery of assets: Dynamic Media with OpenAPI capabilities provides a mechanism for control over access to your digital assets. You can specify user roles or groups as metadata for to-be-secured assets and set a predefined timeframe during which only authorized users can access these assets. The delivery URLs for secured assets do not resolve for unauthorized users during the restricted period.
-
Data insights to take informed decisions (upcoming): Beyond asset management and delivery, it captures delivery data insights into asset deliveries at CDN allowing Brand managers to track delivery metrics across channels. It enables them to take data-driven decisions for continuous optimization of asset governance and delivery strategies.
