Create a Managed Metadata Service TermSet in a Term Group using CSOM in SharePoint 2013

Steps:

1. Make sure Managed metadata service is running in CA.

2. Create a Visual studio Console Application and run as Admin.

 

3. Add below references:

using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;

using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Taxonomy;

using System.Collections.ObjectModel;

 

 

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;

using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Taxonomy;

using System.Collections.ObjectModel;

 

namespace MMSApplication

{

    class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext("Site collection url");

 

            TaxonomySession taxonomySession = TaxonomySession.GetTaxonomySession(clientContext);

 

            TermStore termStore = taxonomySession.TermStores.GetByName("Term Store Name");

 

            Guid guid = new Guid("6h4f3b5c-224f-5faa-de7a-57735d3eb7d5");

            TermGroup termGroup = termStore.GetGroup(guid);

 

            string termSetName="Put New Term Set Name";

 

            Guid newTermSetGuid=Guid.NewGuid();

 

            int lcid=1033;

 

            TermSet termSetColl = termGroup.CreateTermSet(termSetName, newTermSetGuid, lcid);           

 

            clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

        }

    }

}
