# Link asset to program

> Link an existing asset to a program.

Links an existing organization-level asset to a program. This is how you share a single asset across multiple programs. When you create an asset with a `program_id`, the link happens automatically. This endpoint is for adding an asset to additional programs after initial creation.

Pass the asset's `id` in the request body. The link is permanent once any ledger entries exist for that asset in the program. If no ledger entries exist, the asset can be unlinked. Linking an already-linked asset returns an error.

<Note>
  For usage patterns and examples, see the [Programs guide](/guides/programs).

    Universal Incentive Infrastructure API for managing loyalty programs,
    rewards, and participant balances.


    Scrip provides a complete backend for building incentive and loyalty
    programs. Core concepts:

    - **Programs**: Containers for incentive logic (e.g., "Q1 Sales Bonus",
    "Customer Loyalty")

    - **Assets**: The currency or points being tracked (e.g., "Bonus Points",
    "Cash Rewards")

    - **Participants**: Users who earn and spend assets (identified by
    external_id)

    - **Groups**: Collections of participants for team-based incentives

    - **Rules**: Automated reward logic triggered by events

    - **Events**: Actions that trigger rule evaluation (e.g., "purchase",
    "referral")


    Response formats:

    - **Collection endpoints** return: {"data": [...], "pagination":
    {"has_more": true, "next_cursor": "..."}}

    - **Single-resource endpoints** return the resource directly

    - **Errors** return: {"code": "...", "message": "...", "details": {...}} —
    `details` is an optional object, present on input errors only
