    Hi @SMW, do you have an example of where you're having the problem?

    Hi rlux, I managed to solve the problem myself.

    The call I was looking for was

    const alt_text = await   cloudinary.api.resources_by_ids( imageId, {context:true} )

    .then(metadata=> metadata.resources[0].context.custom.image_alt_text)

     .catch(err=>{console.log({err}); )


    Is there a complete list of options and what values they accept anywhere?

    @SMW - Hi. Just noticed I was tagged here, so delayed response, but maybe still helpful? 🙏

    You can find all the details of our Admin API, including syntax, descriptions of all available params, and code examples for all SDKs, here: https://cloudinary.com/documentation/admin_api

    FYI - In addition to the totally valid solution you came up with for your requirement, there's also this helper method in SDKs that might be more convenient:

    Hope this will be helpful going forward!
