asset = bf.assets.fetch_by_id(<asset_id>)  # Grab an asset
asset.set(name='New Name')
asset.update()  # Pushes new attributes to Brandfolder

Search for assets within a Brandfolder:

# Will return results with a name containing "Sample" of filetype ".png"

bf = client.brandfolders.fetch_by_id(<brandfolder_id>)
search_parameters = ['name:sample', 'extension:png']
results = bf.assets.search(search_parameters)
