DC 5.8 SDK usage

Welcome to the Digizuite C# SDK documentation. Here you will find documentation on how to use the sdk and some tips and tricks for interacting with the Digizuite in general.

Setup

To get started with the Digizuite SDK, you should first install the Digizuite packages from nuget.org https://www.nuget.org/packages/Digizuite.Sdk.
Additionally the SDK has to be initialized. If you are using dotnet, an extension method AddDigizuite is provided. Use the extension method AddDigizuite for inspiration.

A simple example of how the initialization code looks in a console application is as follows:

var serviceCollection = new ServiceCollection(); 

var config = new DigizuiteConfiguration()
{
	BaseUrl = new Uri("https://<Digizuite url>.com/"),
	SystemUsername = "<Username>",
	SystemPassword = "<Password>"
};

serviceCollection.AddDigizuite(config)
            .AddDigizuiteLogging()
            .AddConsoleSink();
serviceCollection.AddSingleton(typeof(ILogger<>), typeof(ConsoleLogger<>));
var serviceProvider = serviceCollection.BuildServiceProvider(true);

Usecases

1. Get a single asset by assetId
   Use the Digizuite service IAssetSearchService

   var assetSearchService = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IAssetSearchService>();
   var assetResponse = await assetSearchService.GetAsset(75);

   The response model can be found at DC 5.8 [core api] Get assets

2. Get a list of assets
   Use the Digizuite service IAssetSearchService

   var assetSearchService = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IAssetSearchService>();
   var getAssetsRequest = new GetAssetsRequest
   {
       AssetIds = new HashSet<int> { 75, 76 }
   };
   var assetResponse = await assetSearchService.GetAssets(getAssetsRequest);

   The response model can be found at DC 5.8 [core api] Get assets
   

3. Freetext search for assets and sort by assetId desending
   Use the Digizuite service IAssetSearchService
   Here we search for assets with the following search criteria:
   Freetext.
   Count, the number of assets pr page.
   Skip, set to 0, which is page 1.
   SortBy, here we sort by the highest assetId.

   var assetSearchService = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IAssetSearchService>();
   var assetSearchRequestFreetext = new AssetSearchRequest()
   {
       FreeText = "Test",
       Count = 12,
       Skip = 0,
       SortBy = new List<SortField>
       {
           new SortField
           {
               Order = SortOrder.Descending,
               SearchKey = "assetId"
           }
       }
   };
   var assetResponse = await assetSearchService.SearchForAssets(assetSearchRequestFreetext); 

4. Search by assettype
   Use the Digizuite service IAssetSearchService
   In this example we search for a specific assettype InDesign.

   var assetSearchService = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IAssetSearchService>();
   var assetSearchRequestAssettype = new AssetSearchRequest()
   {
       FacetFields = new List<FacetRequest>
       {
           new FacetRequest
           {
               SearchKey = "assetType",
               Operation = LogicalComparison.Or,
               Recursive = false,
               Values = new List<string>{ "InDesign" }
           }
       },
       Count = 12,
       Skip = 0
   };
   var assetResponse = await assetSearchService.SearchForAssets(assetSearchRequestAssettype);
