GET
v1/containers/{containerId}/cost-items/{costItemId}/sub-cost-items
Retrieves sub cost items associated with a specific cost item in a project.
For more information about cost and sub cost items, see the Help documentation.
Note that this endpoint is compatible with both BIM 360 and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) projects.
Resource Information
| Method and URI | GET https://developer.api.autodesk.com/cost/v1/containers/:containerId/cost-items/:costItemId/sub-cost-items |

| Data Format | JSON |
Request
Headers
| Authorization* string | Must be Bearer <token>, where <token> is obtained via a three-legged OAuth flow. |
| 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: |
* Required
Request
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. |
| costItemId array: string: uuid | A cost item ID to retrieve sub cost items for one cost item in a single request. The response includes all sub cost items associated with the specified cost item. Cost items do not have parent-child relationships, but sub cost items can be structured under other sub cost items. To find the cost item ID, call GET cost-items. |
Request
Query String Parameters
| filter[type] enum:string | The type of the value to break down.
Possible values: estimated, proposed, submitted, approved, committed |
| offset int | The number of objects to skip before returning a page of records. To return the subsequent page, increment this number by the value of limit in the next request. |
| limit int | The maximum number of records that this endpoint returns per page. Default: 100.
Note that a returned page may contain fewer items than the limit under either of these conditions:
|
| sort string | The sort order for items. Each attribute can be sorted in either asc (default) or desc order. For example, sort=name, updatedAt desc or sort=name + updatedAt desc sorts the results first by name in ascending order, then by date updated in descending order. |

| pagination object | The pagination information when data must be returned page by page. |
| limit int | The maximum number of objects returned in the response. |
| offset int | The number of resulting objects that were skipped before the page of records was returned. |
| totalResults int | The total number of objects found that satisfied the request criteria. |
| nextUrl string | The URL for the next request to return the next page of records.
Max length: 2000 |
| results array: object | A list of sub cost items associated with the requested cost items. |
| id string: UUID | The unique ID of the sub cost item. |
| parentId string,null | The unique ID of the parent sub cost item. A sub cost item has a parent Id when it is part of a hierarchical cost structure. Root sub cost items do not have a parent ID. |
| type enum:string | The classification of the sub cost item that indicates its role in cost tracking and approval workflows. Possible values: estimated, proposed, submitted, approved, committed.
Max length: 255 |
| costItemId string | The ID of the cost item to which the sub cost item belongs. |
| code string | The identifier for the sub cost item. If copied from another model, for example, a Contract SOV, it inherits the code. Otherwise, it is manually assigned.
Max length: 255 |
| position number,null | The position of the sub cost item relative to its sibling sub cost items. If a new sub cost item is assigned a position that already exists, the system shifts existing items downward to maintain order. |
| name string | The name of the sub cost item.
Max length: 1024 |
| quantity number,string,null | The planned number of units allocated for the sub cost item. |
| inputQuantity number,string,null | The recorded input quantity, typically used in performance tracking. For example, in labor tracking, inputQuantity represents man-hours utilized. |
| unitPrice number,string,null | The price per individual unit of the sub cost item. |
| unit string | The unit of measurement for the sub cost item. This value is configured in the Unit of measure settings for the project. Common units include ea (Each), gal (Gallon), and various volume, length, and time measurements.
Max length: 1024 |
| value number,string,null | The total value of the sub cost item, calculated as quantity * unitPrice. |
| createdAt datetime: ISO 8601 | The date and time that the item was created, in ISO 8601 format. |
| updatedAt datetime: ISO 8601 | The date and time that the item was last updated, in ISO 8601 format. |
