REST Resource: projects.locations.assets

  • EarthEngineAsset provides information about an Earth Engine asset.

  • Each asset has properties like type, name, ID, update time, and associated key/value pairs.

  • Assets can include spatial footprints, time information (start and end times), and data bands for image assets.

  • Leaf assets have a size in bytes, and feature collections have a feature count.

  • The quota for top-level user-owned folder assets is also provided.

Fields
type

enum (Type)

The type of the asset.
name

string

The name of the asset. name is of the format "projects/*/assets/**" (e.g. "projects/earthengine-legacy/assets/users//").
id

string

The ID of the asset. Equivalent to name without the "projects/*/assets/" prefix (e.g. "users//"). Note that this is intended for display purposes only. It should not be used as an input to another operation. Use name instead.
updateTime

string (Timestamp format)

The last-modified time of the asset.

Uses RFC 3339, where generated output will always be Z-normalized and uses 0, 3, 6 or 9 fractional digits. Offsets other than "Z" are also accepted. Examples: "2014-10-02T15:01:23Z", "2014-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z" or "2014-10-02T15:01:23+05:30".
properties

object (Struct format)

Key/value properties associated with the asset.
startTime

string (Timestamp format)

The timestamp associated with the asset, if any, e.g. the time at which a satellite image was taken. For assets that correspond to an interval of time, such as average values over a month or year, this timestamp corresponds to the start of that interval.

Uses RFC 3339, where generated output will always be Z-normalized and uses 0, 3, 6 or 9 fractional digits. Offsets other than "Z" are also accepted. Examples: "2014-10-02T15:01:23Z", "2014-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z" or "2014-10-02T15:01:23+05:30".
endTime

string (Timestamp format)

For assets that correspond to an interval of time, such as average values over a month or year, this timestamp corresponds to the end of that interval (exclusive).

Uses RFC 3339, where generated output will always be Z-normalized and uses 0, 3, 6 or 9 fractional digits. Offsets other than "Z" are also accepted. Examples: "2014-10-02T15:01:23Z", "2014-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z" or "2014-10-02T15:01:23+05:30".
geometry

object (Struct format)

The spatial footprint associated with the asset, if any, as a GeoJSON geometry object (see RFC 7946).
bands[]

object (ImageBand)

Information about the data bands of the image asset. Omitted for non-image assets.
sizeBytes

string (int64 format)

The size of a leaf asset (e.g. an image) in bytes.
featureCount

string (int64 format)

The number of features in the asset, if applicable.
quota

object (FolderQuota)

The quota information associated with the folder asset, if any. Returned for top-level user-owned folder assets (e.g. "users/*" or "projects/*").
tilesets[]

object (Tileset)

The tilesets backing this image. Only present for external images, whose pixels are retrieved from storage not owned by Earth Engine.
Union field location. Information about where and how the raster tiles are stored. location can be only one of the following:
cloudStorageLocation
(deprecated)

object (CloudStorageLocation)

Deprecated. Use image.importExternal instead. See https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/Earth_Engine_asset_from_cloud_geotiff for more details.
featureViewAssetLocation

object (FeatureViewLocation)

The location of this FeatureView in EE.
