Overview

Webdam is a digital asset management (DAM) platform, and its API gives you programmatic access to manage brand assets such as images, logos, videos, and documents stored in your Webdam account. You authenticate via OAuth 2.0 and can upload, search, download, and organize assets through the API. It is most useful for teams automating creative asset workflows across marketing tools.

💡

Beginner Tip

Webdam requires OAuth 2.0 authentication — start by reading the authentication guide in the docs to obtain an access token before making any other API calls.
