How to see creation dates or upload dates?

[LeahStock]

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.

In my case, I am looking for recent city photos. The projects that work on often reference construction in the commercial real estate market. Photos older than 5 years are not usable. Not being able to see the creation date of a photo is very annoying.

The asset ID is an indication of the age of the asset. The higher the number, the younger the asset.

That is a good tip, @Abambo, especially when you have a list of image IDs and want to find the newest.

@Wayne243012858xuj when searching, you can sort by "Most Recent" to see the most recently uploaded images. Keep in mind that these may not be relevant to your search. For example, if I search for "Zurich" and sort by most recent (and filter out editorial images of Zurich Airlines as well as AI-generated images), the top results are cows. The cows are from Zurich, but it's not the city. The "Relevancy" filter fixes that.

Please note that searching for photos by location has pitfalls. Stock can't guarantee that a photo of Georgia, USA, is not actually the Country of Georgia. Stock discards the actual geolocation data because of privacy regulations, so the only way to identify them is by their keywords, or by using a visual similarity search that compares to a known photo of the place. Contributors supply the keywords tags or they are suggested by Stock using AI, but they shouldn't be taken as truth. Net, do your own research before licensing to verify that the photo actually is of that city.

The Stock API is free to use with anyone with an Adobe ID. The only option that is restricted to Enterprise is the option to use technical service accounts.

Thanks for the clarification. 

Whith "Technical service accounts" do you mean support?

Ok, I googled. It's not support. It's kind of a special account licensing on behalf of the user, without the user's need to create an account with Adobe or interacting with stock directly.

On the Developer Console website, it is referred to as "server-to-server authentication." Like you say, it is a special account that bypasses a login and can be used for automated tasks when the user is not present. Without this option, developers must use OAuth 2.0, aka "user authentication." This grants the same level of access, but the token will expire after 24 hours, so the user must be present to sign in again.

A developer might use a service account to sync their Stock downloads to an asset management system (DAM/MAM), for example.
