## Path parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description |

### Response example

```json
{
  "asset_id": "123456789012345101",
  "title": "Test title",
  "thumbnail_url": "https://cdn.example.com/assets/asset-001/thumbnail.png",
  "raw_content_url": "https://cdn.example.com/assets/asset-001/recording.mov",
  "transcript_url": "https://cdn.example.com/assets/asset-001/transcript.json",
  "asset_type": "MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO"
}
```

## Notes

- **Behavior:** The thumbnail, raw content, and transcript URLs are time-bound and signed. They expire after 30 days.
- **Validation:** Invalid asset IDs return a `404 Not Found` or `400 Bad Request` error.
- **Transcript availability:** Transcripts are unavailable for Image, Embedded Link, and Play assets. Check whether `transcript_url` is present in the response. Confirm transcript support for the media types your integration uses with [Mindtickle Support](mailto:support@mindtickle.com) before relying on it.
