Finding assets by ownerId
I am working on modifying a python script I found to organize screenshots and archive them, and I am trying to find out how to get the libraryId of a user so I can retrieve only the assets the user owns because when the script tries to archive images that it doesn't own, it fails.
Right now I am using users/me to get the user and I tried using the id returned for the user when calling /search/metadata but it returns nothing. It does match the folder name for the user in the library folder.
Am I missing something?

Looking at the response if I exclude the libaryId, it looks like libraryId is null for all the items in the response. Is that normal?
Looking at the source code for the asset media service, it looks like libraryId is explicitly set to null when a new asset is created. Is there a job that needs to run to populate the libraryId field?
I think I understand now. libraryId is for external libraries only. So is there a way to search for only photos you own? I am running into issues because of a shared library between users. I can retrieve the files but I can only perform operations on ones that I am the owner of.
The search endpoint should only return assets you own iirc
It also returns assets from a partner’s library if you have one shared with you.
I was able to work around it by filtering it after pulling the results, but it might be worth looking into something for people with shared libraries.
