Authentication
The migrations API uses basic authentication, where the username is api and the password is your configured API key.
cURL
A CURL request to get all root content could look like this:
curl --location --request GET 'https://your-old-site.com/umbraco/Limbo/Migrations/GetContentAtRoot' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic YXBpOnlvdXIgcGFzc3dvcmQ='The YXBpOnlvdXIgcGFzc3dvcmQ= value is the combined Base64 hash of api and your password.
C#
Using our Limbo.Umbraco.MigrationsClient package, a similar call could be made in C# like as shown below:
@using Limbo.Umbraco.MigrationsClient
@using Limbo.Umbraco.MigrationsClient.Models.Content
@using Limbo.Umbraco.MigrationsClient.Responses
@using Skybrud.Essentials.Http.Exceptions
@inherits Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor.RazorPage
@{
// Initialize the HTTP client
MigrationsHttpClient client = new MigrationsHttpClient("https", "your-old-site.com", "Your API key");
try {
// Make the request to the migrations API
IMigrationsResponse<IReadOnlyList<LegacyContentItem>> response = client.GetContentAtRoot();
<p>Found @response.Body.Count pages at root</p>
// Iterate through the root content
foreach (ILegacyContentItem content in response.Body) {
<hr />
// Write out some basic information about the content node
<pre>ID: @content.Id</pre>
<pre>Key: @content.Key</pre>
<pre>Name: @content.Name</pre>
}
} catch (HttpException ex) {
<pre>@ex</pre>
}
}
