Export assets and metadata from Scene7 using API
Scene7 (Dynamic Media Classic) doesn’t offer a built-in way to export all assets and metadata directly. This can be a challenge when you need to migrate or restructure assets.
To fix this, use the Scene7 API to extract asset data and metadata, then generate a CSV file. This method works well for both small and large-scale exports.

Issue/Symptoms
- Scene7 doesn’t provide a built-in option to export all assets and metadata directly to FTP or blob storage.
- Since FTP is primarily used for uploading assets, exporting both assets and metadata requires alternative methods.
- Customers have to extract asset names and metadata into a CSV file for migration purposes. Use cases include restructuring assets into folders or importing them into AEM Assets Ultimate.
Resolution resolution
To export assets and metadata from Scene7, start by using the Scene7 API or user interface to retrieve asset information. Then, generate a manifest or CSV file that includes the metadata you need. For large-scale operations, automate the process using Scene7’s API.
Here’s how to do it:
- Access the Scene7 API with valid authentication credentials.
- Use the API to retrieve a list of all assets and their associated metadata.
- Write a script to consolidate this data into a CSV file for further processing.
Note: Â FTP provisioning is not required for this operation; instead, use the API-based approach described above.
