Getting started with Adobe Admin APIs - Storage Management

Adobe Admin APIs for Storage Management provide enterprise organizations with programmatic control over administrative tasks in the Adobe Admin Console. This enables them to integrate Adobe's administrative capabilities into their workflows, scripts, and tools to automate administrative processes.

With the Adobe Admin APIs for Storage Management, you can:

• Configure and manage content retention policies for inactive users to define how inactive users' assets (stored in Adobe storage for business) are preserved or permanently deleted when accounts are deactivated.
• Configure a policy to allow or prevent users in your organization from moving assets into shared projects or folders outside your organization’s storage.

Prerequisites

Before you can use the Adobe Admin APIs for Storage Management, you must use the Adobe Developer Console to create a development project. This integration registers your application as a client of the Adobe Admin APIs for Storage Management and provides the credentials needed to authorize API calls.

For information on setting up an Adobe Developer Console project, see Developer Console.

For information about client credential authentication and retrieving Client ID, Client Secret, Scopes, or access tokens, see Authentication Setup.

Make your first API call

Once you have created your access token, you can follow the steps below to make your first API call.

1. Open your terminal and paste the code below.
2. Replace the variable <YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN> with the token you generated on the Adobe Developer Console.
3. Once all variables have been replaced, run the command.

curl --request GET \
    --url 'https://cloudstorage.adobe.io/v1/policies/org/inactive_user_content_purge' \
    --header 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/vnd.adobecloud.directory+json'
