Getty link integration

Brandfolder's Getty Images integration automatically pushes images and metadata from your Getty Images account into your Brandfolder. 

The integration does the following:

• Polls your Getty account at a set interval.
• Grabs newly downloaded images and ingests them into a designated Brandfolder section.
• Converts priority metadata into custom fields on the associated Brandfolder assets (for example, Getty keywords become Tags in Brandfolder).
• Grabs all historical data in your Getty account and pushes the images to Brandfolder.

Confirm with your Getty Images Representative that your premium access plan has DAM share rights and can be re-downloaded via the API.

To set up the integration, you must reach out to your Brandfolder point of contact or support with the following information:

• Your Brandfolder API Key and API Secret from Getty. You have to work with Getty to purchase the connection/stock images. 
• The Brandfolder and section for your images to import into 
• The date we should start the Getty Image sync 
• The frequency of sync (daily, weekly, or custom)
• If your organization has approvals turned on, clarify if you would like the integration user set up as an Admin who bypasses the need for approval or as a collaborator, which puts the assets in a pending state upon sync.

With this information, the Brandfolder team sets up the integration. 

We import unless it is already within Getty. When assets sync into Brandfolder, this counts as one download per asset. Depending on their agreement, Getty customers can only have 250-20,000 downloads per year.
