Hello there @candyOrate,

you can use a query like this one to get the public URL to download a file:

{
  boards(ids: 1234567890) {
    items(ids: 1122334455) {
      assets {
        public_url
        name
      }
    }
  }
}

This will return a response like this one:

{
  "data": {
    "boards": [
      {
        "items": [
          {
            "assets": [
              {
                "public_url": "https://files-monday-com.s3.amazonaws.com/91111117/resources/811111117/thenameofmyfileplussomeotherinfo",
                "name": "thenameofmyfile.jpeg"
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
  "account_id": 11111111

Hi there,

Is it possible to filter with the assetId?
I tried assets (ids: $assetId) but it says “Field ‘assets’ doesn’t accept argument ‘ids’”.

If not, I guess I can get all the assets and filter afterwards, but I’d rather filter it during the request if it’s possible.

Thank you in advance,
Antoine

Hello again,

You can get the asset IDs, check which one you need and then use that asset ID like this if you want:

{
  assets(ids:123456){
    public_url
  }
}

But I am not sure it makes much sense.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Cheers,
Matias

Hi Matias,

Thank you for your answer.
Actually as I said I tried this but it returned the message “Field ‘assets’ doesn’t accept argument ‘ids’”.
Why would it not make much sense to you?
My purpose is to get the publicUrl from a specific asset of a specific item.

Cheers,
Antoine

Hello again @twan,

As you can see in the next email, if you query for the asset directly, you can use the asset’s ID:

If you want to use a different approach, you can use the flow I sent in the past comment :grin:

Let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers,
