    Content-Type*
    string
    		Must be application/json
    region
    string
    		The region where the project data resides, to which this request is routed.

    This header is optional because the request is automatically routed to a target region based on the project ID or container ID. Using the header, though, can save lookup time on each API call. For information about verifying the region the data resides in, see the Working with BIM 360 Services in Different Regions section on the API Basics page.

    Possible values: EMEA, US. For the full list of supported regions, see the Regions page.

    URI Parameters
    containerId
    string: UUID
    		The ID of the cost container for the project. Each project is assigned a container that stores all of the cost data for the project.

    To find the container ID, see the Retrieve a Cost Container ID tutorial.

    In ACC projects, the container ID is the same as the project ID. To obtain a project ID, use GET projects.
