I own the physical copies of the dm guide, the monster manual, the players hand guide, xanzathars guide to everything, and the guild masters guides to ravnica. Is there anyway to have this content unlocked on here without buying them all again?
No, there is no way to validate or transfer purchases from physical to D&D Beyond. The quick and simple reasons including (but aren't limited to)
D&D Beyond is a separate company from Wizards of the Coast and as such no revenue from the books goes towards running the site or paying its team
D&D Beyond didn't start until 2 years after the current edition of D&D released, meaning the books aren't printed, distributed or sold with digital codes in mind
It isn't feasible, based on how TTRPG books are generally sold (on the shelf for people to browse through) to include codes
Many other reasons, some practical, some business
You can however take the content and homebrew it into D&D Beyond for personal use, allowing you to use it in the tools provided for free.
Yea I figured that would be the case my thing about it is. The source books you have posted are the exact same as the ones I have at the house. I would like to make characters from ravnica without having to purchase it again. Since it's easier to make characters on here and get spells and such added to their lists. It also has a ton of blocked content like spells. It's just frustrating that I would have to buy them again. So you said i could homebrew the content on here so i could just copy the text of the books and add them to my "homebrew" content for my self to use and that would be fine and not breaking any rules? I dont want to do something and it be going against your rules.

It's fine to recreate options for your character sheet using the homebrew tools as long as you do not share them publically, so they are kept or private use by you and those in the same campaign with you.
The only thing you cannot replicate is the Artificer since D&D beyond homebrew tools cannot do Classes at the moment, only Subclasses.

Yep, it's completely okay, We just ask that you don't publish the homebrew for others to see and use.
Also, there is the option to buy just parts of the books you need. Say you only want the backgrounds from Ravnica, you can buy just them

Do you know when or if they will ever let us make classes?
Homebrew classes are on the long term roadmap as part of the homebrew revamp
