### What type of assets can I access by using Adobe Stock API for print on demand?

Technically, the API will give access to any kind of asset, including Premium, Video, 3D, Templates, etc.

However, from a Legal standpoint, Print on Demand customers may access __only Standard assets__ and must therefore *filter out* Premium content and other non-Standard asset types. If you need access to other types of content in your application, please [contact us](mailto:[email protected]?subject=Adobe%20Stock%20API%20FAQ%20-%20non%20standard%20assets).

**Standard assets**. All Standard photos, vectors and illustrations are found here: <https://stock.adobe.com/images>

**Premium assets**. Premium content is anything found here: <https://stock.adobe.com/premium>. In addition, Premium content will have a “Premium” banner on them on the Adobe Stock website. The API has other signifiers and data indicating that an asset is Premium.
