This is an event you don't want to miss. The conference that brings together software developers building with Autodesk Platform Services is back. And this time we're on boats. Both in San Francisco and Munich, we will host 200 developers that want to learn about the latest APIs and SDK releases you can use to build applications and solutions with your Design and Make Data.
Some of the classes you can expect are:
- AEC including Forma APIs
- Manufacturing including Fusion
- Data at the center with Autodesk Data Models
- Executive classes on digitizing your business
- Hack the planet and how APS enables sustainability
Space is limited and we expect this event to sell out. So don't miss the boat and get your ticket today.

We’re pleased to inform you that Data Connector API now supports extracting activities data! Accessing to activities data through API has been a highly demanded feature. With the new enhancement to the Data Connector API, you now have a programmatic way to extract data for activities, for example, from Document Management or Docs, Issues, and Account Admin. Data Connector API is compatible with Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) unified products and BIM 360. Learn more.

BIM 360 Issues (v1) API - New Deprecation Date
Does your application use BIM 360 Issues (v1) API? Autodesk plans to retire eleven (11) BIM 360 Issues (v1) API endpoints. Recently we have released the version 2 of BIM 360 Issues API. Action required: If you are using any of the eleven (11) Issues (v1) API endpoints with BIM 360, please migrate to Issues (v2) API by August 15th, 2023, at which point the Issues (v1) API endpoints will be deprecated and stop functioning. Failure to migrate in a timely manner will result in breaking the workflow in your application. Read this blog for more details.
