Steps
Retrieve the account's API key from the Brandfolder profile/integrations page
Send requests with an `Authorization: Bearer <api_key>` header rather than embedding the key in the URL
Call the assets endpoint scoped to a specific Brandfolder (`/api/v4/brandfolders/{brandfolder_id}/assets`) or a specific asset by ID to retrieve its metadata
Use the `include=attachments` query parameter (on asset or section-level asset listing endpoints) to pull each asset's underlying files/attachments in the same response instead of a separate call per asset
Iterate paginated results when listing assets across an entire Brandfolder or Section rather than assuming a single page returns everything
Known gotchas
An 'asset' in Brandfolder is a container that can hold multiple attachments (e.g. different file versions/renditions) — fetching the asset alone may not return downloadable file URLs unless attachments are explicitly included
API keys are tied to the user who generated them and inherit that user's Brandfolder permissions, so a key with restricted access will silently omit assets the user can't see rather than erroring
Bearer-token-style API key auth is per-request; there is no separate OAuth token exchange step, so key rotation must be coordinated directly with whatever system stores the key
