Show your Digital Assets on your website (or other external channels)
Publish a window of assets on your website — always up to date, without manual exports and without duplicating any files — by directly connecting your THRON library to the external channel of your choice.
Before you begin
Make sure these elements are already configured in the platform before proceeding.
A dedicated folder structure, with the folder you want to display already organized.
A Custom Application active on the folder, with its relative pKey: it is required to distribute contents via the Player. → How to configure it
(Optional) A select or multiselect attribute, if you want website users to be able to filter assets by characteristic.
(Optional) An active approval flow on the folder, if you want only approved assets to appear on the website.

Three steps in sequence. The first two are up to you; the third is up to your developer or agency.
1. Request API Credentials
Write to support@thron.com indicating the name of the integration and your client code. The THRON team will provide you with client_id and client_secret — the credentials your developer needs to access the APIs.
2. Pass the credentials to the developer
Collect and share with your developer or agency:
client_id and client_secret (received from THRON support)
pKey of the folder (from the Custom Application)
The developer will also ask you for the username of a THRON user with permissions on the folder you want to expose — if you don't have a dedicated one, create it before passing it.
3. The developer implements the integration
The developer uses the credentials to authenticate, query the THRON APIs, and build the showcase on the site. For technical details, refer them to the dedicated guide.

Standard preset
Source folder |
Dedicated to the channel (e.g., /channels/website), not the root |
Dedicated user |
With access only to the source folder — do not use the main admin |
Sharing type (pKey) |
Public Sharing for public sites; Secure Sharing for protected areas |
Filters |
Activate them only if you expect more than 3–4 categories of assets to distinguish |
Approval |
Activate it only if multiple people upload assets to the exposed folder |
The final result
With the integration active, simply add or remove an asset from the source folder: the website updates automatically, without the need for new technical interventions or manual exports.
