Manage metadata

Manage asset metadata in Unity Asset Manager using the Python SDK, including how to create, update, and delete metadata fields.

Before you begin

To access any metadata from an asset, dataset or file, make sure the app has all the right accesses. Read more about managing Identity.
참고
The following code snippets first require an initialization. To learn more about the 
initialize()
and 
uninitialize()
methods, read about getting started with the Unity Cloud Python SDK.

How do I...?

Create a metadata field definition

To create a metadata field, follow these steps:
  1. Create a 
    CreateField
    object and fill in the necessary information.
  2. Call 
    create_field_definition
    with the organization id and your 
    CreateField
    object. The possible for 
    FieldDefinitionType
    are: 
    • BOOLEAN
    • SELECTION
    • NUMBER
    • TEXT
    • TIMESTAMP
    • URL
    • USER
참고
The 
accepted_values
and 
multiselection
properties are only necessary when creating a 
SELECT
metadata field. All other type will ignore those properties.
create_field = CreateFieldDefinition(  key = "my_new_field",  display_name = "My Field",  type = unity_cloud.assets.FieldDefinitionType.SELECT,  accepted_values = ["value1", "value2", "value3"],  multiselection = False)unity_cloud.assets.create_field_definition(org_id = "0123456", create_field = create_field)

Update a metadata field definition

To update a metadata field, follow these steps:
  1. Create an 
    UpdateField
    object along with the information to update.
  2. Call 
    update_field_definition
    with the organization id and your 
    UpdateFieldobject
    .
update_field = UpdateFieldDefinition(  key = "my_new_field",  display_name = "My Field with a new name",  accepted_values = ["value1", "value2", "value3", "value4"])unity_cloud.assets.update_field_definition(org_id = "0123456", update_field = create_field)

Add accepted values to a SELECT metadata field

To add accepted values to a metadata field of type 
SELECT
, call 
add_accepted_values_to_field_definition
with the new values. This action removes the necessity of calling 
update_field_definition
with all the already existing values. 
unity_cloud.assets.add_accepted_values_to_field_definition(org_id = "0123456", field_key = "my_new_field", accepted_values = ["value5", "value6"])

Remove accepted values from a SELECT metadata field

To remove accepted values to a metadata field of type 
SELECT
, call 
remove_accepted_values_from_field_definition
with the values you want removed. This action removes the necessity of calling 
update_field_definition
with the values you want to keep. 
unity_cloud.assets.remove_accepted_values_from_field_definition(org_id = "0123456", field_key = "my_new_field", accepted_values = ["value5", "value6"])

Delete a metadata field definition

To delete a metadata field, call delete_field_definition with its organization id and field key.
참고
A deleted field will still be retrievable later, but you cannot undelete it.
unity_cloud.assets.delete_field_definition(org_id = "0123456", field_key = "my_new_field")

List all field definitions

To retrieve all metadata field from an organization, call 
list_field_definitions
with the organization id and whether or not you want deleted field included in the list.
  • (Optional) Add the parameter name_sorting_order to sort the results alphabetically either in ascending or descending.
  • (Optional) Add the parameter 
    limit_to
    to limit the amount of results returned. Leave it unchanged or set it to 0 to return everything.
  • (Optional) Add the parameter 
    skip
    to specify the number of collection to skip in the results. Use in combination with limit_to to page through results.
fields = unity_cloud.assets.list_field_definitions(org_id = "0123456",include_deleted = False,name_sorting_order = SortingOrder.ASCENDING,limit_to = 10,skip = 0)

Get a field definition

To retrieve a metadata field from an organization, call 
get_field_definition
with the organization id and the key of the field. 
field = unity_cloud.assets.get_field_definition(org_id = "0123456", field_key = "my_new_field")

Manage metadata

When managing 
Metadata
dictionaries, make sure the dictionaries have existing metadata field keys and consistent values according to their type. For a field with a 
SELECT
type, accepted_values can either be a string or an array of strings. This distinction depends on the value set for multiselection:
  • If set to 
    TRUE
    , the 
    accepted_values
     is an array of strings.
  • If set to 
    FALSE
    , the 
    accepted_values
     is a string.
참고
The following code snippets will manage metadata from an asset, but the same can be done either for metadata from files and datasets.
  • Use the following code sample to create an entity:
metadata = dict()metadata["Language"] = "C#"asset_creation = AssetCreation(  name = "your-asset-name",  description = "your-asset-description",  type = unity_cloud.assets.asset_type.MODEL_3D,  metadata = metadata)
  • Use the following code sample to update an entity:
    metadata = dict()metadata["Language"] = "C#"asset_update = AssetUpdate(  name = "your-asset-name",  metadata = metadata)
  • Use the following code sample to fetch an entity's metadata:
asset_metadata = unity_cloud.assets.get_asset_metadata(  org_id = "012345",  project_id = "1234abcd-ab12-cd34-ef56-123456abcdef",  asset_id = "0123456789",  keys = [])asset_prog_language = asset_metadata["Language"]dataset_metadata = unity_cloud.datasets.get_dataset_metadata(  org_id = "012345",  project_id = "1234abcd-ab12-cd34-ef56-123456abcdef",  asset_id = "0123456789",  dataset_id = "0123456789",  keys = [])file_Metadata = unity_cloud.files.get_file_metadata(  org_id = "012345",  project_id = "1234abcd-ab12-cd34-ef56-123456abcdef",  asset_id = "0123456789",  dataset_id = "0123456789",  cloud_file_path = PurePosixPath("path/to/file.ext"),  keys = [])
참고
Leave the 
keys
parameter empty to retrieve all metadata fields. Otherwise, specify the keys you want to retrieve.
