Autodesk Construction Cloud APIConnect Autodesk Construction Cloud without building on its API
Autodesk Construction Cloud has a REST API. Self-serve app creation on Autodesk Platform Services, but reaching a company's ACC data requires that ACC account's admin to add the app's client ID as a Custom Integration. If you're reading the docs because you need Autodesk Construction Cloud to talk to the rest of your stack, Caddi does that without you writing or maintaining integration code: you show it the job once, and it runs it across Autodesk Construction Cloud and your other tools.

What the Autodesk Construction Cloud API gives you
- Type
- REST (JSON)
- Authentication
- OAuth 2.0 (APS 2-legged and 3-legged)
- Who can get access
- Self-serve app creation on Autodesk Platform Services, but reaching a company's ACC data requires that ACC account's admin to add the app's client ID as a Custom Integration.
- What it covers
- ACC account and project admin, files and data management, issues, RFIs, cost management, assets, forms, sheets, model coordination, and data connector.
- Limits
- Limits are set per API family and per app client ID, e.g. Hub Admin construction/admin GET endpoints allow 600 requests/minute and write endpoints 100 requests/minute.

Building on the Autodesk Construction Cloud API vs. having Caddi run it
| The job | Build it on the API | With Caddi |
|---|---|---|
| Getting access | Register an app, get Autodesk Construction Cloud credentials, and manage tokens and refreshes. | Connect your Autodesk Construction Cloud account once. Caddi holds the connection. |
| Writing the integration | A developer maps fields, handles pagination, retries and rate limits, and writes the sync. | You show Caddi the Autodesk Construction Cloud task the way you'd train a new hire. It writes verified code for it. |
| Steps the API doesn't cover | Screens with no endpoint stay manual, or need a separate RPA tool. | Caddi uses a secure, audited browser session where there's no API, in the same automation. |
| The other systems in the loop | Each extra tool is another API, another set of credentials, another integration to own. | One automation runs across all the tools the job touches. |
| Keeping it running | Someone owns the code when the API version, fields or your process change. | Every automation is reviewed before it runs in production, and every run is logged. |
Building on the API is the right call when you have engineers and the integration is your product. When the goal is getting Autodesk Construction Cloud work off someone's desk, the build is the slow part.
What teams usually want the Autodesk Construction Cloud API for
RFI & submittal intake
Caddi reads inbound email and attachments and creates the matching RFI or submittal in Autodesk Construction Cloud on the right project.
Document control
Caddi classifies and files drawings and documents to the correct Autodesk Construction Cloud project and folder.
Autodesk Construction Cloud API questions
Does Autodesk Construction Cloud have an API?
Yes. Autodesk Construction Cloud has a REST API, authenticated with OAuth 2.0 (APS 2-legged and 3-legged). The official documentation is at https://aps.autodesk.com/en/docs/acc/v1/overview/.
How do I get access to the Autodesk Construction Cloud API?
Self-serve app creation on Autodesk Platform Services, but reaching a company's ACC data requires that ACC account's admin to add the app's client ID as a Custom Integration.
Does the Autodesk Construction Cloud API have rate limits?
Limits are set per API family and per app client ID, e.g. Hub Admin construction/admin GET endpoints allow 600 requests/minute and write endpoints 100 requests/minute.
Can I connect Autodesk Construction Cloud to my other tools without writing code against its API?
Yes. With Caddi you show the Autodesk Construction Cloud task once, the way you'd train a new hire, and Caddi builds it as verified code that runs across Autodesk Construction Cloud and the other tools the job touches. Where a step has no API, Caddi uses a secure, audited browser session in the same automation.
Do I need a developer to automate Autodesk Construction Cloud with Caddi?
No. There is no integration code for you to write or maintain. Every automation Caddi builds for Autodesk Construction Cloud is reviewed before it runs in production, and every run is logged.
