Bluebeam APIConnect Bluebeam without building on its API
Bluebeam has a REST API. Customers need an active Core, Complete or Max plan (not Basics), and partners need approval for an NFR license; production apps also need Bluebeam approval. If you're reading the docs because you need Bluebeam 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 Bluebeam and your other tools.

Building on the Bluebeam API vs. having Caddi run it
| The job | Build it on the API | With Caddi |
|---|---|---|
| Getting access | Register an app, get Bluebeam credentials, and manage tokens and refreshes. | Connect your Bluebeam 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 Bluebeam 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 Bluebeam work off someone's desk, the build is the slow part.
What teams usually want the Bluebeam API for
Drawing intake & filing
Caddi classifies incoming drawings, prepares them in Bluebeam, and files the results to the right project location.
Markup routing
Caddi routes marked-up documents to the right reviewer and captures responses back into the record.
Bluebeam API questions
Does Bluebeam have an API?
Yes. Bluebeam has a REST API, authenticated with OAuth 2.0 (authorization code). The official documentation is at https://developers.bluebeam.com/.
How do I get access to the Bluebeam API?
Customers need an active Core, Complete or Max plan (not Basics), and partners need approval for an NFR license; production apps also need Bluebeam approval.
Can I connect Bluebeam to my other tools without writing code against its API?
Yes. With Caddi you show the Bluebeam task once, the way you'd train a new hire, and Caddi builds it as verified code that runs across Bluebeam 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 Bluebeam with Caddi?
No. There is no integration code for you to write or maintain. Every automation Caddi builds for Bluebeam is reviewed before it runs in production, and every run is logged.
