Hi

I would like to pull content from Umbraco Heartcore into a self-hosted umbraco project.

I have the below:

However the code sometimes just hangs with no errors thrown, just waiting not getting a response. However, if I reset iis the content is actually there and displays. I would like to check for new notifications every 15-30 minutes.

Would anybody please have suggestions on how I can improve the below.

  public async Task<PagedContent> GetNotificationsAsync()
    {
        var projectAlias = "xxxxxxxx";
        Guid notifications = new Guid("xxxxxxxxxxxxx");
        var contentDeliveryService = new ContentDeliveryService(projectAlias, "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx");
        var response = await contentDeliveryService.Content.GetChildren(notifications, "en-GB", page: 1, pageSize: 25);
        return (response);
    }


public List<notificationItem> GetNotificationsV2()
    {

            List<notificationItem> notificationsComplete = new List<notificationItem>();

            Task<PagedContent> response = null;
            var tNotifications = Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
            {
                try
                {
                    response = GetNotificationsAsync();
                }
                catch (Exception e)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("{0} Exception caught.", e);
                }

            });
            tNotifications.Wait();



            var countItems = response.Result.TotalItems;
            if (countItems > 0)
            {
                foreach (var item in response.Result.Content.Items)
                {
                    var myProperties = item.Properties;
                    var pNotificationDetail = myProperties["notificationDetail"].ToString();
                    var pNotificationFor = myProperties["notificationFor"].ToString();                 
                        notificationsComplete.Add(new notificationItem()
                        {
                            Name = item.Name,
                            notificationDetail = pNotificationDetail,
                            notificationFor = pNotificationFor
                        });

                }
            }
        return notificationsComplete;
    }
