Unlocking Sitecore Content Hub: A Guide to Utilizing the Web Client SDK - Part 1

Unlocking Sitecore Content Hub: A Guide to Utilizing the Web Client SDK - Part 1


Sitecore Content Hub allows connections either through a third-party API or via the Web Client SDK. Content Hub offers the Web Client SDK, which includes an Entities client for executing CRUD operations—creating, reading, updating, and deleting entities. In this blog, we are going to discuss about Web Client SDK.
 
Authentication is handled through the OAuth client, which must be set up in Content Hub and then configured on the client side.

  • To create an OAuth client, navigate to the settings and click on OAuth clients.


  • Next, click on the " + OAuth Client" icon to create a new OAuth client.


  • Now, input the Name, Client ID, Client Secret (a randomly generated GUID), and Redirect URL.

    • Develop a fresh console application and incorporate the Web Client SDK NuGet package (Stylelabs.M.Sdk.WebClient).
    • Create a new class named MClientConnector and add the ClientId and ClientSecret that were created in the previous steps.
     

    • Next, in the Program.cs file, call the TestConnectionAsync function.

    using System;
    using System.Threading.Tasks;
    namespace ContentHubDemo
    {
    internal class Program
    {
    static async Task Main(string[] args)
    {
    try
    {
    await MClientConnector.Client.TestConnectionAsync();
    Console.WriteLine("Success");
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
    Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
    }
    }
    }
    }
    • Now run the console application.
