Procore Technologies API
A versioned public REST API with OAuth 2.0, sandboxes, and coverage from RFIs and submittals to budgets and timecards. Production is gated: marketplace apps need partner-program approval, and the default 3,600 calls per hour limit forces backoff on multi-project syncs unless raised.
Frequently asked questions
Procore Technologies scores D on the API Report Card. A versioned public REST API with OAuth 2.0, sandboxes, and coverage from RFIs and submittals to budgets and timecards. Production is gated: marketplace apps need partner-program approval, and the default 3,600 calls per hour limit forces backoff on multi-project syncs unless raised.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Procore Technologies is a publicly traded (NYSE: PCOR) cloud construction management platform that connects every stakeholder on a construction project from preconstruction through closeout.
Vertical: Construction (commercial, industrial, infrastructure, and increasingly residential). Project managers use Procore as the daily system of record: uploading and versioning drawings, routing RFIs and submittals, logging daily reports and weather, tracking punch list and observation items, and managing meeting minutes.
Procore is the de facto leader in cloud construction management. Over 3 million projects have run on the platform across 150+ countries.
Yes, Procore is the system of record for nearly everything a project touches.
Founded 2002 by Tooey Courtemanche in Carpinteria, California, after his own home-build experience exposed how broken project communication was in construction. Cloud-native from the start.
Default 3,600 calls/hour rate limit is restrictive for any non-trivial multi-project sync; raising it requires going through partner BD. 429 throttling and occasional 503s during platform load spikes force consumers to implement backoff/jitter and persistent retry queues.

Common alternatives include Autodesk Construction Cloud (Build, BIM 360, PlanGrid), Oracle Aconex / Primavera, Trimble Viewpoint (Vista / Spectrum / ProjectSight), Buildertrend, CMiC, e-Builder (Trimble). Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
