Choose an integration tool
Users often ask when they should use scripts and when they should use the Microsoft Azure functionality.
Here are the essential points to consider:
-
You cannot use scripts to connect to other systems.
-
Scripts have certain restrictions. Check Script restriction and switch to an Azure function or external integration/code if necessary.
REST API and Web SDK
The SDK makes the REST API readily available and easy to use in the language for which the SDK is built.
-
If you are using C# and JavaScript, then you should use the SDK.
-
If you are using another language, you should write your own implementation for the REST API.
-
Use the REST API/SDK if you want to connect to Sitecore Content Hub. It is not meant as a delivery mechanism, so you should not use it to perform a live integration. Indeed, Sitecore Experience Edge for Content Hub is available for that very reason and supports the requirements of a delivery mechanism.
