Steps
Authenticate via Autodesk Platform Services OAuth and ensure the app's Client ID has the Forma/ACC Photos API category enabled.
Call GET https://developer.api.autodesk.com/construction/photos/v1/projects/{projectId}/photos/{photoId} to retrieve a single photo/video's metadata.
Call POST https://developer.api.autodesk.com/construction/photos/v1/projects/{projectId}/photos:filter to retrieve a paginated, filtered set of media (e.g. by creation date or media type).
Specify a limit in the request body if the default page size is insufficient, and page through results using the returned pagination cursor.
Cross-reference photo metadata (location, album, timestamp) against project records to organize jobsite documentation downstream.
Known gotchas
As of this API's current release, there is no documented upload endpoint — the Photos API is read-only (filter/list and get-single-photo only); photos must be captured via the ACC Build mobile/web app.
The API sits under Autodesk's Forma/Build namespace, so the app registration must explicitly include the Forma APIs category or calls will fail even with a valid token.
Endpoint responses are project-scoped (projectId in path) — there is no documented cross-project/company-wide photo listing endpoint.
