Basic asset management

Alongside upload functionality, the Cloudinary Upload API provides additional methods for managing, organizing, and creating media assets. All the methods in the Upload API are not rate-limited and can be used as needed.

The Cloudinary Admin API also has useful rate-limited methods for administering and organizing your files, such as listing all uploaded assets, listing tags, finding all assets that share a given tag, updating transformations, bulk deleting, etc. See the documentation on the Admin API for more information.

Additionaly, the Cloudinary Media Explorer bridges the gap for you between efficient asset management in code and an online user interface (UI) to your asset library.
