const client = contentful.createClient({
  accessToken: '<content_management_api_key>'
})

client.getSpace('<space_id>')
.then((space) => space.getAsset('<asset_id>'))
.then((asset) => asset.archive())
.then((asset) => console.log(`Asset ${asset.sys.id} archived.`)
.catch(console.error)
Returns:
Object returned from the server with updated metadata.
Type
Promise.<Asset>

})

client.getSpace('<space_id>')
.then((space) => space.getAsset('<asset_id>'))
.then((asset) => asset.delete())
.then((asset) => console.log(`Asset deleted.`)
.catch(console.error)
Returns:
Promise for the deletion. It contains no data, but the Promise error case should be handled.

options.processingCheckWait number Time in milliseconds to wait before checking again if the asset has been processed (default: 500ms)
options.processingCheckRetries number Maximum amount of times to check if the asset has been processed (default: 5)
Triggers asset processing after an upload, for the files uploaded to all locales of an asset.
Example
const contentful = require('contentful-management')

const client = contentful.createClient({
  accessToken: '<content_management_api_key>'
