Migrating Assets to Screenly

Copy a player's assets from Anthias to a Screenly cloud account.

Screenly is the commercial, cloud-managed sibling of Anthias. If you want to move a player’s assets up to a Screenly account, Anthias ships a built-in migration wizard — no SSH or scripts required. Existing assets already on Screenly are left untouched.

Before you start

You’ll need a Screenly API token:

  1. Sign up or sign in to Screenly at login.screenlyapp.com.
  2. In the Screenly dashboard, go to Settings → Security → API Tokens and create a new token.
  3. Keep the token handy. It looks like abcdef.123456…. The token is not stored on the device — it is only used to talk to Screenly’s API while the migration runs.

Run the migration

  1. Open your Anthias web interface and go to Settings.
  2. In the Migrate to Screenly section, click Start migration.
  3. On the Get started screen, review the steps and click I have a token.
  4. Paste your Screenly API token and click Continue. Anthias validates the token against Screenly before moving on.
  5. Choose which assets to migrate. All assets are selected by default; use Select all / Select none or the per-asset checkboxes to adjust.
  6. Click the Migrate N assets button. Each selected asset is uploaded to Screenly in turn, with live per-asset progress.
  7. When it finishes, any assets that failed can be re-uploaded with the Retry N failed button, without repeating the ones that already succeeded.

That’s it — your selected assets now live in your Screenly account.
