how to use REST API to read Content / Files area

Shopify Discussion
1

Hi, trying to use API to get info on Files in the ‘Content’ area, but dont see any way. I tried the ‘Assets’ API, but it seems to point to a seperate area; not the Files area. My end game is to replicate the SlideShow area in an external website, but trying to access specific Slideshow info via Shopify API looks like a dead end. Any help would be appreciated!

thanks

If a “slideshow” is a theme section then yes the assets api is needed.

Otherwise just search for the shopify files api if the slideshows are file uploads to the admin and NOT theme settings.

There is no REST api for files

‘assets’ is poorly used technospeak for theme assets which include templates and not just the themes /asset folders

reads, adds, changes, or removes theme files

Thanks Paul, the slideshow is aprt of the them (Simple). So are you saying the REST Assets API should be able to see the slides? Or is there a GraphQL API for Assets?

thanks for your help,
