description An asset description is optional. You can edit the description using the Update asset request.
fileName The name of the file uploaded to MediaSilo
projectId The id of the project in which the asset is located
folderId The id of the folder in which the asset is located. If the value is “null,” then the asset lives inside a project at the top level, not inside a folder.

Others, such as file size and dimensions, will vary.
