Contentstack - .Net SDK
.NET SDK for Contentstack's Content Delivery API
Contentstack is a headless CMS with an API-first approach. It is a CMS that developers can use to build powerful cross-platform applications in their favorite languages. Build your application frontend, and Contentstack will take care of the rest. Read More.

Prerequisites
To get started with C#, you will need:
.net platform, IDE (Visual Studio) and NuGet.
SDK installation and setup
The .Net SDK provided by contentstack.io is available for Xamarin, Windows Phone and legacy .Net applications. You can integrate contentstack with your application by following these steps.
Open the terminal and install the contentstack module via 'Package Manager' command
PM> Install-Package contentstack.csharp
And via ‘.Net CLI’
dotnet add package contentstack.csharp
To use the module in your application, you need to first Add Namespace to your class
using Contentstack.Core; // ContentstackClient
using Contentstack.Core.Models; // Stack, Query, Entry, Asset, ContentType, ContentstackCollection
using Contentstack.Core.Configuration; // ContentstackOptions
Initialize SDK
You will need to specify the API key, Access token, and Environment Name of your stack to initialize the SDK:
// Initialize the Contentstack
ContentstackClient stack = new ContentstackClient("api_key", "access_token", "enviroment_name");
or:
//
var options = new ContentstackOptions()
{
ApiKey = "<api_key>",
AccessToken = "<access_token>"
Environment = "<environment>"
}
ContentstackClient stack = new ContentstackClient(options);
Once you have initialized the SDK, you can start getting content in your app.
Basic Queries
Get a Single Entry
To retrieve a single entry from a content type, use the code snippet given below:
Entry entry = client.ContentType("product").Entry("blta464e9fbd048668c");
entry.Fetch<Product>().ContinueWith((t) => {
if (!t.IsFaulted) {
Console.WriteLine("entry:" + t.Result);
}
});
Get Multiple Entries
To retrieve multiple entries of a particular content type, use the code snippet given below:
Query query = client.ContentType("product").Query();
query.Where("title", "welcome");
query.IncludeSchema();
query.IncludeCount();
query.ToJSON();
query.Find<Product>().ContinueWith((t) => {
if (!t.IsFaulted) {
ContentstackCollection<Product> result = t.Result;
Console.WriteLine("result" + result.items);
}
});
