Contentstack Delivery .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.

For more information, you can check out the GitHub page of our .NET Delivery SDK.

Prerequisites

To get started with C#, you will need:

.Net platform
IDE (Visual Studio)
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

Quickstart in 5 mins

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 client = new ContentstackClient("api_key", "delivery_token", "enviroment_name");

or:

ContentstackOptions options = new ContentstackOptions()
{
	ApiKey = "<api_key>",
	DeliveryToken = "<access_token>",
	Environment = "<environment>"
}
ContentstackClient client = new ContentstackClient(options);

Once you have initialized the SDK, you can start getting content in your app
For Setting other regions:

Refer the below code if you want to use the Europe, Australia, Azure North America, Azure Europe, GCP North America, or GCP Europe region.

ContentstackOptions options = new ContentstackOptions()
{
	ApiKey = "<api_key>",
	DeliveryToken = "<delivery_token>",
	Environment = "<environment>",
	Region = ContentstackRegion.EU
}
ContentstackClient client = new ContentstackClient(options);

Once you have initialized the SDK, you can start getting content in your app.

For Setting the Early Access Header:

Integrating EarlyAccess headers into the ContentstackOptions grants access to features included in the early access program.

ContentstackOptions options = new ContentstackOptions() {
    ApiKey = "<api_key>",
    DeliveryToken = "<delivery_token>",
    Environment = "<environment>",
    Branch = "<branch>"
    EarlyAccess = new string [] {"Taxonomy", "Teams", "Terms", "LivePreview"}
};

ContentstackClient client = new ContentstackClient(options);

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
EarlyAccess (Optional)	Array of Strings	Array of header strings for early access features.

Basic Queries

Get a Single Entry

To retrieve a single entry from a content type, use the code snippet given below:

ContentstackClient client = new ContentstackClient("api_key", "delivery_token", "enviroment_name");

Entry entry = client.ContentType("product").Entry("entry_uid");

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:

ContentstackClient client = new ContentstackClient("api_key", "delivery_token", "enviroment_name");

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); 

    } 

});

Note By default, the limit for response details per request is 100, with the maximum limit set at 250.

Paginating Responses

In a single instance, theGet Multiple Entriesquery will retrieve only the first 100 itemsof the specified content type. You can paginate and retrieve the rest of the items in batches using theskipandlimit parameters in subsequent requests.

ContentstackClient client = new ContentstackClient("api_key", "delivery_token", "enviroment_name");
Query query = client.ContentType("blog").Query();
query.Skip(20);
query.Limit(20); 
query.Find<Blog>().ContinueWith((t) => { 
    if (!t.IsFaulted) { 
         ContentstackCollection<Blog> result = t.Result; 
         Console.WriteLine("result" + result); 
    } 
});

Field Behavior

Determines which asset-related metadata the CDA returns.
Used with stack.Asset(uid).AssetFields(...).Fetch() or stack.AssetLibrary().AssetFields(...).FetchAll().
When provided, the SDK sends the selected fields as the asset_fields[] query parameter. Only the requested asset metadata is returned.

Supported Values

user_defined_fields
embedded_metadata
ai_generated_metadata
visual_markups

Fetch a single asset with specific fields

using Contentstack.Core;
using Contentstack.Core.Configuration;

Name	Type	Description
locale	string	Locale code used to fetch the asset. Default: None

Field Behavior

Specifies which locale’s metadata the API returns for the asset.
Used with stack.Asset(uid).SetLocale(...).Fetch().
When provided, the locale is sent as the locale query parameter.

Response Impact

The response includes localized fields (for example, title and description) along with locale and publish_details.locale.

Fetch a single asset in a locale

using Contentstack.Core;
using Contentstack.Core.Configuration;
using Contentstack.Core.Models;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Options;

};
var stack = new ContentstackClient(new OptionsWrapper<ContentstackOptions>(options));
var asset = await stack
    .Asset("asset_uid")
    .SetLocale("en-us")
    .Fetch();
// Access localized fields from the response
var title = asset.Title;           // Localized title
var locale = asset.Get("locale");  // e.g. "en-us"

Fetch a single asset in a locale with a fallback

using Contentstack.Core;
using Contentstack.Core.Configuration;
using Contentstack.Core.Models;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Options;
var options = new ContentstackOptions
{
    ApiKey = "<API_KEY>",
    DeliveryToken = "<DELIVERY_TOKEN>",
    Environment = "<ENVIRONMENT>"
};
var stack = new ContentstackClient(new OptionsWrapper<ContentstackOptions>(options));
var asset = await stack
    .Asset("asset_uid")
    .SetLocale("en-us")
    .IncludeFallback()
    .Fetch();

                    .Fetch<Entry>();

assetFields

The assetFields method specifies which asset-related fields are included in the API response when fetching an entry or querying entries.

Regional Behavior

This method is currently supported only for stacks located in the North America (NA) region.

For stacks in the Europe (EU) or Azure North America (Azure NA) regions:

The API ignores the asset_fields[] parameter.
The response returns the default asset metadata.
The system does not return an error or warning message if the parameter is used.

If you are working in these regions, ensure your application logic accounts for the full default metadata response rather than a filtered set of fields.

Name	Type	Description
fields	string[]	Asset field names to include in the response. Default: None

Returns the current Entry instance to enable method chaining. For example: Entry("id").AssetFields("...").Fetch<Entry>().

Request behavior: Calling AssetFields(...) only records the asset fields and does not make an API request.
Execution: The HTTP request runs only when you call Fetch<T>() (single entry) or Find<T>() (multiple entries).
Query parameter: The specified asset fields are sent as the asset_fields[] query parameter so that only those asset-related fields are returned in the response.

Parameter Behavior

Specifies which asset-related metadata fields the CDA returns for assets referenced in the entry or entries.
Applied when using stack.ContentType(uid).Entry(uid).AssetFields(...).Fetch<T>() or stack.ContentType(uid).Entry().AssetFields(...).Find<T>().
When provided, the SDK sends the selected fields as the asset_fields[] query parameter. Only the requested asset metadata is returned in the API response.

Supported Parameter Values

user_defined_fields
embedded_metadata
ai_generated_metadata
visual_markups

Note If AssetFields(...) is not called, or is called with no arguments, null, or an empty array, the SDK does not add the asset_fields[] query parameter. The CDA then returns the default asset metadata for referenced assets.

Fetch a single entry with specific fields

using Contentstack.Core;
using Contentstack.Core.Configuration;
using Contentstack.Core.Models;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Options;

var options = new ContentstackOptions
{
    ApiKey = "<API_KEY>",
    DeliveryToken = "<DELIVERY_TOKEN>",
    Environment = "<ENVIRONMENT>"
};

var stack = new ContentstackClient(new OptionsWrapper<ContentstackOptions>(options));

var entry = await stack
    .ContentType("blog_post")
    .Entry("entry_uid")
    .AssetFields("user_defined_fields", "embedded_metadata", "ai_generated_metadata")
    .Fetch<Entry>();

Query multiple entries with asset fields

using Contentstack.Core;
using Contentstack.Core.Configuration;
using Contentstack.Core.Models;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Options;

var options = new ContentstackOptions
{
    ApiKey = "<API_KEY>",
    DeliveryToken = "<DELIVERY_TOKEN>",
    Environment = "<ENVIRONMENT>"
};

var stack = new ContentstackClient(new OptionsWrapper<ContentstackOptions>(options));

var result = await stack
    .ContentType("blog_post")
    .Entry()
    .AssetFields("user_defined_fields", "embedded_metadata")
    .Find<Entry>();

Global Fields

A Global field is a reusable field or group of fields that you define once and reuse across any content type in your stack. This helps you avoid recreating the same set of fields multiple times, saving time and effort.

IncludeGlobalFieldSchema

The IncludeGlobalFieldSchema method fetches the complete schema of a specified Global Field, including all nested fields and configurations

Example:

using Contentstack.Core;
using Contentstack.Core.Configuration;

var options = new ContentstackOptions()
{
   ApiKey = "your_api_key",
   DeliveryToken = "your_delivery_token",
   Environment = "your_environment"
};

ContentstackClient stack = new ContentstackClient(options);
GlobalField globalField = stack.GlobalField("global_field_uid")
   .IncludeGlobalFieldSchema()
   .Fetch();

SetHeader

The SetHeader method sets custom headers when fetching a Global Field, allowing you to pass additional information such as authentication tokens, localization settings, or custom metadata with the API request.

Example:

using Contentstack.Core;
using Contentstack.Core.Configuration;
var options = new ContentstackOptions()
{
   ApiKey = "your_api_key",
   DeliveryToken = "your_delivery_token",
   Environment = "your_environment"
};
ContentstackClient stack = new ContentstackClient(options);
GlobalField globalField = stack.GlobalField("global_field_uid");
globalField.SetHeader("custom_key", "custom_value");
var result = await globalField.Fetch();

fetch

The fetch method retrieves the details of the specified global field.

Example:

using Contentstack.Core;
using Contentstack.Core.Configuration;

var options = new ContentstackOptions()
{
   ApiKey = "your_api_key",
   DeliveryToken = "your_delivery_token",
   Environment = "your_environment"
};

ContentstackClient stack = new ContentstackClient(options);
GlobalField globalField = stack.GlobalField("global_field_uid");
var result = await globalField.Fetch();
Console.WriteLine(result.ToString());

Global Field Query

find

The find method retrieves all Global Fields from your stack using a Global Field query, providing access to the complete collection of Global Field data.

Example:

using Contentstack.Core;
using Contentstack.Core.Configuration;
var options = new ContentstackOptions()
{
   ApiKey = "your_api_key",
   DeliveryToken = "your_delivery_token",
   Environment = "your_environment"
};
ContentstackClient stack = new ContentstackClient(options);
GlobalFieldQuery query = stack.GlobalFieldQuery();
var result = await query.Find();
Console.WriteLine(result.ToString());

IncludeGlobalFieldSchema

The IncludeGlobalFieldSchema method includes the complete schema for each Global Field when fetching all Global Fields using a query.

Example:

using Contentstack.Core;
using Contentstack.Core.Configuration;
var options = new ContentstackOptions()
{
   ApiKey = "your_api_key",
   DeliveryToken = "your_delivery_token",
   Environment = "your_environment"
};
ContentstackClient stack = new ContentstackClient(options);
