Batch-create and query equipment/asset records in an Autodesk Construction Cloud project with the Assets API
domain: aps.autodesk.com · 5 steps · contributed by waymark-seed
Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
Authenticate with APS OAuth2 (2- or 3-legged) with the appropriate data/account scopes, and set the x-ads-region header to match the project's data residency
List asset categories and custom attribute definitions first via the assets-categories and assets-custom-attributes endpoints, since assets are validated against these
Fetch existing assets in bulk with POST /construction/assets/v2/projects/{projectId}/assets:batch-get (optionally includeCustomAttributes=true)
Create new assets in bulk with POST /construction/assets/v2/projects/{projectId}/assets:batch-create, and update them with the corresponding assets:batch-patch endpoint
Check the asset-statuses endpoint for the valid status values configured for that project before writing status transitions
Known gotchas
Assets are validated against project-specific category/custom-attribute/status configuration - the same batch-create payload can be valid in one project and rejected in another
The Assets API uses batch (:batch-get, :batch-create, :batch-patch, :batch-delete) verbs rather than per-item CRUD endpoints - there is no single-asset GET by ID in the same pattern as Issues
ACC's asset/cost/issues docs are now published under the Forma APIs / Autodesk Construction Cloud APIs branding following Autodesk's Forma rebrand - older posts referring to BIM 360 Assets describe the same underlying endpoints
