    Custom-Attributes
    GET

    custom-attributes

    Searches for and returns all specified custom attributes.

    This endpoint accepts a set of optional custom attribute query parameters (described below), then uses those parameters to search for and return custom attributes within a project that satisfy those parameters. If no parameters are set, this endpoint returns all active custom attributes within a project.

    This endpoint paginates returned custom attributes. If you don’t specify pagination fields, your query will execute using the default page size. If you want to specify a different a page size, use the limit query parameter.

    A paginated response to a query includes pagination information that may contain a nextUrl field. Use the URL it provides to request the next page in the query, then use the nextUrl field in that subsequent response to request the next page in the query, and so on until the response contains no nextUrl value, which means the query is finished returning objects. Note that you should not edit the nextUrl value to alter filter and sort values.

    If you want to create your own sequence of requests to retrieve all of a query’s pages without using nextUrl, you can use the cursorState value returned by each request to specify where the next request should start the next page.

    To understand the basics of custom attributes, and the Assets settings that define them, see the Assets Field Guide.

    Note that this endpoint is compatible with both BIM 360 and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) projects.

    Query String Parameters

    limit
    int
    The maximum number of objects that can be returned in a page. A request might return fewer objects than the limit if the Assets service runs out of specified objects to return - at the end of a set of paged results, for example. The maximum limit is 200; the default limit is 25.
    cursorState
    string
    An opaque cursor token that identifies where the next page of paginated results should start. It’s returned in each paginated response so that it can be supplied in the next request to continue paginated results. If a paginated response contains no cursorState value, then there are no further pages to return.

    Omit this field to initiate a paginated request or to restart pagination.

    includeDeleted
    boolean
    Whether or not soft-deleted object should be included in the response. If true, soft-deleted objects are returned. If false, they are not. The default is false.
    filter[updatedAt]
    string
    A string that specifies a date and time or a date and time range at which all returned objects mast have been updated. A single date and time takes this format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.SSSZ, A date and time range takes this format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.SSSZ..YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.SSSZ. Range queries can be closed or open in either direction: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.SSSZ.. or ..YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.SSSZ.

    A URL that requests the next page for this query.
    results
    array: object
    Result custom attributes
    displayName
    string
    The human-readable display name for the Asset custom attribute. This name appears when viewing the custom attribute in the Assets UI, and must be unique within a project.

    Max length: 100

    description
    string
    A description of the Asset custom attribute.

    Max length: 1000

    enumValues
    array: string
    An array of string values that defines possible values that may be supplied when this custom attributes data type (defined by dataType) is set to select or multi_select. This field is required when the data type is set to select or multi_select.
    requiredOnIngress
    boolean
    Specifies whether or not this custom attribute is required when creating or editing an asset. If true, the custom attribute is required. If false, it is not required. Setting this field to true does not guarantee that existing or imported assets will have this custom attribute.
    maxLengthOnIngress
    int
    The maximum length that a text value can be for this custom attribute when creating or editing an asset. Setting a value for this field does not guarantee that existing or imported assets with this custom attribute will have this attribute’s value limited to this length. This field only applies when datatype is set to text. Default is 250, which is the maximum value this field can be set to.
    defaultValue
    one of
    The default value for this custom attribute if no value is specified on asset creation. If this field is not specified, the custom attribute does not have a default value. The default value it takes can be any one of three possible value types, defined below.
