Create assets

async AsyncCogniteClient.assets.create(

asset: Asset | AssetWrite | Sequence[Asset] | Sequence[AssetWrite],

) → Asset | AssetList

Create one or more assets.

You can create an arbitrary number of assets, and the SDK will split the request into multiple requests. When specifying parent-child relation between assets using parentExternalId the link will be resvoled into an internal ID and stored as parentId.

Parameters:

asset (Asset | AssetWrite | Sequence[Asset] | Sequence[AssetWrite]) – Asset or list of assets to create.

Returns:

Created asset(s)

Return type:

Asset | AssetList

Examples

Create new assets:

>>> from cognite.client import CogniteClient
>>> from cognite.client.data_classes import AssetWrite
>>> client = CogniteClient()
>>> # async_client = AsyncCogniteClient()  # another option
>>> assets = [AssetWrite(name="asset1"), AssetWrite(name="asset2")]
>>> res = client.assets.create(assets)

Create asset with label:

>>> from cognite.client.data_classes import AssetWrite, Label
>>> asset = AssetWrite(name="my_pump", labels=[Label(external_id="PUMP")])
>>> res = client.assets.create(asset)
