Steps
Use the Sections endpoints to understand how a Brandfolder is subdivided, since each Section also determines which asset types (files, external media, fonts, etc.) can live in it
Fetch Labels (if enabled for the account) to see the enhanced tag-like organizational hierarchy layered on top of assets, distinct from folder/section structure
Fetch Custom Fields definitions and their key/value pairs attached to assets; remember values are always strings even for numeric-looking data
Combine Section, Label, and Custom Field filters when querying assets to narrow results to a specific organizational slice
Confirm with account admins whether Labels are enabled before building integration logic around them, since Labels are an opt-in feature not present on every Brandfolder account
Known gotchas
Labels are not universally available — they must be enabled for the account, and code that assumes every Brandfolder has Labels will fail on accounts without the feature turned on
Custom Field values are always strings, so any numeric or boolean-like custom field data needs explicit parsing/casting on the consuming side
Sections constrain what asset types can be uploaded into them, so an upload integration must upload into a Section compatible with the file type, not just any Section in the Brandfolder
