ETags

When you make requests to our artwork or media delivery endpoints, you can use 'ETags' to efficiently manage your content by following these steps:

Initial Request

When you first call the endpoint to fetch artwork or an asset, it will come with a unique identifier called an 'ETag.'

Subsequent Requests

When you need to fetch the asset again, you can use the following method.

When you need to fetch the asset again, you can do so using a ‘If-None-Match’ header. By calling the endpoint this way and explicitly specifying the ETag you have, you will either receive the updated media if the ETag has changed or you'll get a response with a status code of 304 (Not Modified), if the ETag has not changed.
Using this system helps you efficiently manage your assets by avoiding unnecessary data transfers and ensuring you always have the latest version when needed.
