Have you worked on a content hub implementation where you needed to create too may taxonomies definitions? did you need to loop your client in the process of updating these taxonomies and their translations? how would you get a list of created taxonomies (Definition Names)? you probably checked the UI and you figured out already that there is no way to do that OOTB, if you didn't get into this case before you probably going to in future, its very simple to accomplish this with Content Hub Scripts. keep reading!
If you worked with Sitecore Content Hub you will notice that the default session timeout behavior is 20 or 30 minutes, regardless if the session is active or not, which will cause an issue for you if you're working or you're in a middle of a long update, in this post I will show where and how you can find and update the configuration of the Content Hub sessions timeout.
In the first part of this series I explained how we can generate excel files of Sitecore media library and their public links and how can use these in Sitecore Content Hub in an import operation using the creation component, to pull these media items into Content Hub DAM, in this part I will show how you can update media library references/usage and replace image fields pointing to media library to point to Content hub using public links.
Have you run into the case where you needed to migrate your Sitecore media library assets into Sitecore Content Hub Digital Asset Management (DAM)? yes, no, or not yet, you will get into this at some point as content hub become more popular and more customers are interested in the composable world where Content Hub takes a central part in it. In this blog posts series we will go through the process of migrating your media library items into CH and updating the references in your content items to point to Content Hub instead of your media items.
In this blog post I want to share one more tip that you should know when working with Sitecore Content Hub Client SDK, you will see in this post how a small piece of info is making a big difference in your code performance, if you didn't came across part 1 of Client SDK performance tips, you can check it out here:
Have you worked with Sitecore Content Hub Web Client SDK [External Integration]? or are you planning to using it with you next project? you will definitely find this post useful, this post will focus on some points that will definitely affect/enhance you application performance, we will discuss APIs calls, properties/meta data loads and workarounds, so keep reading!
In a recent integration project we worked on, we used Sitecore Content Hub (CH) Wen client SDK to build a web PI application to serve as middle point between Sitecore CH and a third party application, we learned a lot through this project, and one of these learning lessons is the speed of pulling data from CH and how CH aggregates would be great help while working on such implementation, in this post I'll introduce aggregates and discuss how it could help enhance your application performance, excited? keep reading :)
If you worked with Sitecore Content Hub you may cross the need of scheduling a trigger for some scripts you have running in Content Hub, and you probably found that Sitecore Content Hub doesn't offer a schedule tasks for running scripts, so you need to integrate with external system, and Azure function is one of the external systems/services that you could use, in this post, I will show how you can trigger a script in Content Hub from azure function as well as how you can pass parameters into the script. keep reading!

In the previous post I gave an introduction for the different sections you as developer will deal with when using Sitecore Content Hub, In this post I will show you a simple scenario when you need to write a custom code for updating an asset an example, and where you can add this code, mainly there are two places where you can have this logic, you can create a new Content Hub script or create an azure function on your function app azure resource.
In this post we will talk about Sitecore Content Hub renditions, media processing settings and flows and also share a code logic you may need to use when working with DAM and assets renditions, specially if you know there is no auto refresh of renditions in Content Hub, so if you added or made any changes to your media processing settings, this will take affect on the new uploaded/processed assets but not existing un-updated assets.
