Question about getting asset
mvidberg
get its embed code but am only getting the following...
<response>
<action>show</action>
<result>Failure</result>
<message>The asset does not exist.</message> </response>
I am attempting to use the following...
I got the asset name via doing a call to list all assets on that
drop. Which parameter should use in place of MY-ASSET-NAME? Is it
not the "name" value that gets returned from doing an asset listing?

Ok, great it worked to remove the ":" from the asset name. You might
want to change all your api doc pages
http://dev.drop.io/rest-api-reference/actions/get-an-asset/
which all clearly show the ":" character in front of both drop and
asset names. And also, accessing the drop with ":" in the name works
fine but doesn't work on assets. That is inconsistent as I think they
should both give an error if the ":" is not supposed to be there.

mvidberg
a variable in the docs, maybe it would be better to use something more
standard such as curly braces? Maybe ":" is a common way to specify
variables but I am personally unfamiliar with it. Someone please
enlighten me.

The colon notation in urls is a convention we borrowed from ruby on
rails routing system. You are right in pointing out that we have not
documented our use of that convention in the API docs. We'll add a
section explaining conventions of our documentation to keep these
linguistic issues from effecting others. Glad you got everything
sorted out!
