I'm interested in finding some early upload pictures but I can't seem to find the date information. Is there a way to access this information?

If this data isn't currently available, I would strongly recommend that the product manager consider adding it to the platform. Providing an API to access the upload date information would be especially useful. Many other popular stock photo services offer this feature, and it can greatly enhance the user experience.

Date information can be used by bots and Stock competitors, as well as photographers who try to file frivolous takedown requests. At the request of the Legal team and Stock Contributors, this information was removed.

As asked by the others, what is your use case for this information?

What you want to achieve is not publicly available information. API access is available only if you are an Enterprise customer. You can google "adobe stock api" to check the documentation to see if the info is made public there.

The only information to see if one asset is older than a different one is the asset ID. They are attributed sequentially.

Thank you. I did check the documentation and noticed that the date information is not publicly available. However, I don't understand why the information can not be public. Many other similar websites provide this information and even offer APIs that allow users to filter files created or added within a specific time frame.

While the sequential asset ID is somewhat helpful, it can still be rather inconvenient for users who require precise date information.

Many of Adobe's photos are of events tied to a time and place. Right now, for example, I need a photo of the May 11 aurora event. Adobe has aurora photos, but no dates. I often don't use photos from Adobe and get them elsewhere because Adobe is the only service that doesn't include dates.
