# Get Material Asset

> Retrieves one Seedance material asset by AI Sonar material asset ID.

Retrieve one material asset and inspect its processing status. The asset can be used for video generation only when `ready` is `true` and `status` is `ACTIVE`.

If video generation returns `Seedance material asset not found or not accessible`, verify that you passed this material asset `id`, not the material `group_id`.

## Example Request

```bash theme={null}
curl https://api.aisonar.dev/v1/videos/assets/asset-20260720123456-qn7wr \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY"
```
