  title: Sitecore Content Hub REST API
  description: >-
    The Sitecore Content Hub REST API is a hypermedia API built on HTTP that
    provides programmatic access to the full range of Content Hub resources,
    including entities, assets, jobs, search, selections, upload, and audit logs.
    Developers use it to automate digital asset management workflows, migrate
    content, build custom integrations, and manage Content Hub configuration.
    The API supports standard CRUD operations and is authenticated using OAuth 2.0
    tokens obtained from the Content Hub identity provider. Navigation between
    resources uses hyperlinks rather than hardcoded URL patterns. The base URL is
    tenant-specific and corresponds to the URL of the Content Hub instance followed
    by /api/.
