In June 2025, Autodesk announced the availability of five (5) additional regions as a primary storage location for your project data for certain Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) products: i.e., Autodesk Docs, Autodesk BIM Collaborate and Collaborate Pro in the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Canada and India. On October 27, Autodesk announced the availability of additional products and features for those five regions: i.e., Autodesk Build, Autodesk Takeoff, as well as Parameters and AEC Data Model features in ACC products. With this expansion, customers are now able to use the same set of tools available for ACC products in the US, EU and Australia while using the specified region as the primary storage location.
For more information about this release and other regional offerings, including a more detailed list of available services and tools within ACC products, please see here.
What does this mean for your applications?
Accompanying this expansion the following areas of Autodesk Platform Services (APS) APIs are additionally made available for those five regions:
-
Autodesk Construction Cloud APIs for Autodesk Build and Autodesk Takeoff
-
Parameters API
-
AEC Data Model API
There is no change in the basic functionality of the existing API for this release since the previous regional offerings release in June. That said, one thing which might be worth repeating and emphasizing may be about Viewer requiring a newer version and a line of code to support automatic region routing. For the sake of completeness, we summarize the key points below:
-
The official values used to indicate each region for U.K./Germany/Japan/Canada/India are GBR/DEU/JPN/CAN/IND respectively. (This follows ISO 3166 alpha-3 country code as standard).
-
ACC APIs and automatic region routing -- All ACC APIs support automatic region routing. The endpoint you use for US works for all regions by default. This will make coding for future regional expansion easier. The older admin API, that has separate endpoints for the EU region, will remain functional for backward compatibility.
-
Region in Request – Some APIs require a region field to be provided. This applies to Data Management/Model Derivative/Webhooks/Parameters/AEC Data Model API; and to ACC APIs that take an optional region header.
-
Region in Response – Response body from the API call may include the same region code.
-
Viewer – Viewer version 7.109.1 and above is required to support automatic region routing for models hosted in the new five regions. This includes models in Autodesk Docs and OSS. Set the feature flag DS_ENDPOINTS to true before viewer initialization to enable the routing. Please check the change history under v7.109.1 for the details.
const options = { /* your Viewer options */ };
Autodesk.Viewing.FeatureFlags.set('DS_ENDPOINTS', true);
Autodesk.Viewing.Initializer(options, function() { /* your callback logic */ });
