Steps
List accessible hubs with GET /project/v1/hubs (only active hubs are returned); ACC/BIM 360 hub IDs are formatted as b.{accountId}
List a hub's projects with GET /project/v1/hubs/{hub_id}/projects, then get root folders via GET .../projects/{project_id}/topFolders
Walk a folder's contents with GET /data/v1/projects/{project_id}/folders/{folder_id}/contents, filtering with filter[type]=folders|items and paging via page[limit]/page[offset] (max 200)
Get an item's latest version with GET /data/v1/projects/{project_id}/items/{item_id}/tip, or full history via .../items/{item_id}/versions
Feed a version's URN into Model Derivative for translation, or into the Commands API (POST .../projects/{project_id}/commands) for bulk operations like ListItems or CheckItemsPermission
Known gotchas
All responses follow the JSON:API spec (data/included/relationships/attributes) - flat-response parsing code will break
Folder/item/version IDs use different URN prefixes (fs.folder, dm.lineage, fs.file) that are not interchangeable between endpoint families
A missing hub/folder/item in a listing is often a permissions or scope problem (data:read, or genuine user access for 3-legged tokens), not an API bug
