Thanks, got it to work. Snippet I'm using:

def getPathFromAsset(asset):
    repository = maxon.AssetInterface.GetUserPrefsRepository()
    assetId = maxon.Id(asset)
    assetDescription = repository.FindLatestAsset(maxon.AssetTypes.File(), assetId, maxon.Id(), maxon.ASSET_FIND_MODE.LATEST)
    return assetDescription.GetUrl()

print(getPathFromAsset("file_e55289b63600ab3c"))

Asset Browser texture paths are not file system paths and come in an obfuscated format like this:

asset:///file_65161321321e59b~.jpg

Is there a way to get the actual absolute system path of asset:/// or assetdb:/// urls via scripting using the python api? if not, the c++ api?

Seems to be a basic thing that should be really easy to do but I can't find an obvious way.

Thanks!
