Scope of Work

Create a API driven service that queries specific API endpoints of the iconik MAM service.

• Authenticate with iconik via the Rest API.
• Collect all assets within the collection of the given ID listed below.
• For each asset in said collection, extract its information and the metadata fields associated with the metadata view .
• Create a HTML frontend as part of the service that renders the response payload and all associated metadata. (There is no requirement to render video,audio etc or implement file interaction.).

NOTE: This is a critcial and functional assessment of your skills, as such, you have complete creative freedom over how you choose to present the information in the rendered HTML page. It can be plaintext or pretified with tables, JS, CSS, pagenation etc.
