Manage Generic Assets

General

You can add assets to the SCAYLE Content Delivery Network (CDN) in two ways: by uploading files from your local system or by providing URLs of existing images. Assets can be uploaded as base64 encoded attachments or by specifying the URL of a self-hosted image.

Access your CDN by calling https://{{tenant-space}}.cdn.scayle.cloud.

For example, if your tenant is "acme" and the space is "live," the CDN URL would be: https://acme-live.cdn.scayle.cloud.

Supported asset file types

The Admin API supports the following file formats:

• JPEG (for high-quality images)
• PNG (for images with transparency)
• GIF
• PDF
