Getting Started
In order to use this sdk, you'll need to install the script and you'll also need to authenticate your requests.
Prerequisites
You must have access to an Agility instance to retrieve the guid and generate your apiKey. Or, you must have these values provided to you.
Installation
Install it using npm (recommended):
npm install @agility/content-fetch
If necessary, you can also reference a standalone package that can be used in a browser using a traditional script tag. In this case, the sdk can be accessed using a global variable by name of agility
:
<!-- Use a specific version (i.e. 0.4.2) -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://unpkg.com/@agility/content-fetch@0.4.2/dist/agility-content-fetch.browser.js"></script>
<!-- Or, Use the latest version -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://unpkg.com/@agility/content-fetch@latest/dist/agility-content-fetch.browser.js"></script>
Making a Request
import agility from '@agility/content-fetch'
//initialize the api client
const api = agility.getApi({
guid: 'ade6cf3c',
apiKey: 'defaultlive.201ffdd0841cacad5bb647e76547e918b0c9ecdb8b5ddb3cf92e9a79b03623cb'
});
//make the request: get a content item with the ID '22'
api.getContentItem({
contentID: 22,
languageCode: 'en-us'
})
.then(function(contentItem) {
//on success
console.log(contentItem);
})
.catch(function(error) {
//on error
console.log(error);
});
