API reference
API stands for Application Programming Interface, and facilitates smooth communication between two platforms. SDK stands for software development kit, or devkit. SDKs provide a comprehensive collection of tools that enable users to build software applications faster and in a more standardized way. Often, at least one API is included in the SDK, because without the API, applications cannot relay information and work together.
The following section provides the reference notes for the different cloud development tools.

Web SDK reference (extensions on top of the base SDK) |
The C# Web SDK is an external tool that makes it easier for C# developers to implement their own logic in manipulating the object resources. | |
Scripting API reference |
Sitecore Content Hub allows users to integrate custom scripts in their business logic. Scripts can be manually triggered by end-users or automatically triggered by the application (e.g. using Triggers) depending on the script type and the use case. Sitecore Content Hub offers different script types, with each type having different context properties. | |
Fluent SDK API reference |
The Fluent SDK builds on top of the Web SDK and Scripting and allows to perform certain operations in a fluent way | |
Javascript SDK reference |
The JavaScript SDK is an external tool that makes it easier for JavaScript developers to implement their own logic in manipulating the object resources. | |
CLI reference |
A command-line interface (CLI) processes commands to a computer program in the form of lines of text. The program which handles the interface is called a command-line interpreter or command-line processor. The CLI is used for communicating with Sitecore Content Hub instances through the REST API using the C# Web SDK. |
