Asset

Assets are individual files that make up a shop's theme.

#

Assets can be any additional file; from images and stylesheets to extra snippets of code. Assets can be easily added, changed or removed from a shop's theme.

GET/web/themes/828155753/assets.json

There are different buckets which hold different kinds of assets, each corresponding to one of the folders within a theme's zip file: layout, templates, and assets. The full key of an asset always starts with the bucket name, and the path separator is a forward slash, like layout/theme.liquid or assets/bg-body.gif.
