BCF REST API v2.1
Introduction
BCF-API v2.1
Go to the official BCF REST API for full documentation.
Bimsync BCF-API is based on the official BCF REST API
What is described here
- All supported API-methods, with some extensions
- bimsync terms
Issue Boards and BCF
An "issue board" is the same as a BCF project, and an "issue" is the same as a BCF topic. In bimsync, you may have multiple issue boards in the same project.
project_id points to the issue board, while bimsync_project_id points to the Bimsync project
Users are managed within a Bimsync project.
Getting Started
Bimsync BCF REST API is available from the bcf.bimsync.com domain. All API access is over HTTPS. Data is sent as query parameters and JSON data, and received as JSON.
Registration
Contact Bimsync support to register your app.
Authentication
Authentication is based on the OAuth 2.0 Protocol. First you must retrieve the oauth2_auth_url and the oauth2_token_url.
Get authentication URLs
Example request
GET https://bcf.bimsync.com/bcf/2.1/auth
Example response
{
"oauth2_auth_url": "https://api.bimsync.com/oauth2/authorize",
"oauth2_token_url": "https://api.bimsync.com/oauth2/token",
"http_basic_supported": "false",
"supported_oauth2_flows": [
"authorization_code_grant"
]
}
Follow Bimsync authentication documentation to retrieve the access token.
When requesting other resources the access token must be passed via the Authorization header using the Bearer scheme (e.g. Authorization: Bearer T9UNRV4sC9vr7ga)
Returns the oauth2_auth_url, the oauth2_token_url.

Extensions
Issue board extensions
The extensions provide a list of valid values, such as statuses, types, and user emails.
Since Bimsync also holds on additional information for these values, the BCF-API standard, for updating these values, is not sufficient. These resources are therefore added to Bimsync BCF-API, but are not a part of the official BCF-API standard.
Statuses and types, that do not have this information, is considered unlinked. They cannot be used in new topics. Unlinked statuses and types occurs if you import a BCF-file that contains topics that have statuses or types that are not a part of the issue board extension.
Unlinked users occurs if you import a BCF-file, that references users that are not found in the project.
