# getAsset()

This endpoint is designed to retrieve the content of an asset file in JSON format. The asset is identified by its exact name, so it must be spelled correctly for the query to be successful.

**Method Signature**

```javascript
async function getAsset(blockchain, name)
```

**Parameters**

| Name         | Type   | Description                  |
| ------------ | ------ | ---------------------------- |
| `blockchain` | String | Blockchain address in hex    |
| `name`       | String | The asset you're looking for |

**Example**

```javascript
var blockchain = "0x8a20baa40c45dc5055aeb26197c203e576ef389d9acb171bd62da11dc5ad72b2";
var name = "CIRX";

var asset = await CircularProtocolAPI.getAsset(blockchain, name);
```

**Result**

The result will be of type `JSON`.
