Announcements
ACC/BIM 360 Cost Management Webhooks API
We are excited to announce the general availability of Webhooks API for Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) and BIM 360 Cost Management! We have heard many developers asking for Webhooks for ACC/BIM 360. This is the first set of Webhooks API for Autodesk Build! Using Webhooks API, you can subscribe events triggered by certain actions, such as when a budget is created/updated/deleted; your application can monitor and respond to it. If your application requires synchronization of data between the Cost module and your applications, this feature eliminates the needs for polling many times, drastically reducing the number of calls. Read the blog to see 43 new Webhook events that the Cost Management Webhooks service exposes.
Tokens are the core of Forge/APS platform's access control mechanism. Tokens act like a temporary password, and grant access to sensitive data and resources only to authorized users while keeping the system secure. Today, we are introducing "Scoped Tokens".
Unlike traditional tokens, "Scoped Tokens" are a token that embeds a list of URNs, which limit what Forge Viewer (now APS) is allowed to view.
When the APS Viewer wants to read SVF2 derivative files from OSS (APS Buckets), the OSS service permissions system decides if the token has access or not. If yes, then the Viewer will load the 2D/3D model, if no, then the Viewer is blocked.
The list of URNs, is specified at the time of issuance of a token, and it can’t be changed later. When the APS Viewer uses a scoped token containing URN, "ABC", then the viewer will only be able to view the model URN 'abc' - nothing else. Read the blog to learn more.
