# Retrieve a resource by path.

`GET /delivery/v1/resources`

This endpoint retrieves the resource at the given path. Restricted resources cannot be accessed. To access those resources too, you have to use /mydelivery/v1/resources.
The resource's path can be obtained using the Authoring assets API: /authoring/v1/assets

    {
        "items": [
            {
                "mediaType": "image/jpeg",
                "name": "myPicture.jpg",
                "path": "/path/to/myPicture.jpg",
                ...

The delivery URL for this endpoint would look like:

    /delivery/v1/resources?path=/path/to/myPicture.jpg

**Note:** This endpoint should not be used for rendering published resources on a site, retrieving resources from Akamai directly is better optimized for this use case.

To retrieve the resource directly from Akamai:

    https://[host]/[TenantID]/path/to/myPicture.jpg
<br />User roles: admin, manager, editor, viewer, authenticatedVisitor, anonymous
