# 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**

```python
def getAsset(self, blockchain, name)
```

**Parameters**

| Name         | Type                  | Description                  |
| ------------ | --------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| `blockchain` | string or hexadecimal | Blockchain address           |
| `assetName`  | string                | The asset you're looking for |

**Example**

<pre class="language-python"><code class="lang-python"><strong>from circular_protocol_api import CircularProtocolAPI
</strong><strong>
</strong><strong>blockhain = 0x8a20baa40c45dc5055aeb26197c203e576ef389d9acb171bd62da11dc5ad72b2
</strong>
circular = CircularProtocolAPI()
result = circular.getAsset(blockchain, "CIRX")
</code></pre>
