Hygraph automatically generates four query types for assets: asset, assets, assetVersion, and assetsConnection. These queries function like regular content queries and can be filtered by asset fields. For more details, see the Fetching Assets documentation.
To enhance SEO and user trust, you can include the original file name in asset URLs generated via Hygraph's Asset Management system. Combine the url and fileName fields manually or via a script, separated by /. Ensure the file extension matches the current asset version, especially if you use transformations (e.g., converting jpg to webp). For step-by-step instructions, refer to this guide.
You can find detailed information on asset management, including uploading, transforming, referencing, and deleting assets, in the Assets API Reference and Working with Assets guide.
