ACC/BIM 360 Cost Management API – Schedule of Values, Expenses and Payments

We are pleased to announce the availability of additional endpoints for Cost Management API. It includes the following areas:   

• Schedule of Values (SOV) – CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete)  
• Expenses and Expense Items – CRUD 
• Payments and Payment Items – Read 

And we do not end here. The product team is working on releasing more. This is the first set of a larger set. In the following months, we intend to update more documentation for more API as they become available, such as main contracts and performance tracking.

We would also like to remind you that we would love to hear from you if there are any missing areas in Cost API. Your voice always helps us to prioritize. 

One thing to note: Cost Management API is compatible for BIM 360 and ACC. While documentation pages list one form of based URL at a moment to support both, there are additional base URL with /construction/ which works for ACC only. i.e., 

For BIM 360:

• https://developer.api.autodesk.com/cost/v1/containers/:containerId/xxx

For ACC (both forms work): 

• https://developer.api.autodesk.com/cost/v1/containers/:containerId/xxx
• https://developer.api.autodesk.com/construction/cost/v1/projects/:projectId/xxx

where in containerId is equivalent to projectId in ACC.

For the details of these new Cost Management API endpoints, please look at BIM 360 API Reference and ACC API Reference. 

If you have any questions, please contact APS support. Happy coding!
