deviceId ? Description ?
Hello all,
I've got 2 questions regarding assets :
* when you upload assets trhu API (assets/uploadAsset, you have to specify deviceId.
I don't know where I can find this information when I'm looking the picture using Web client or dedicated client?
* On the flip side, I can't find any API endpoint that lets you fill in the "Description" field visible in an image’s info.
Thank you for your help 🙂

Successfully submitted, a tag has been added to inform contributors. :white_check_mark:You can set a device ID to whatever you want. I believe this data is planned to be removed in a later release
I believe the update asset end point accept a description
Thanks, but I think I didn't explain myself clearly in my first question.
I wasn’t asking what I could put there — I was just asking where I can find that information when viewing a photo.
From your answer, it sounds like this field is no longer used — where can I see that it’s no longer active or in use? It looks like the command getAllUserAssetsByDeviceId is still using this field ?
Regarding descriptions, I don't see this field in updateAssets: https://immich.app/docs/api/update-assets
Thank you for your help 🙂
We don’t display the Device ID. We are pre stable so we don’t really have a formal list of unused or deprecated fields
You need to use updateASSET not assetS
