Autodesk Construction Cloud API
Autodesk Construction Cloud is construction management software used by owners, GCs, and specialty contractors to connect design coordination, document control, field execution, and cost management. An unofficial API lets you programmatically pull project lists, folders and files (Doc
What is Autodesk Construction Cloud?
Autodesk Construction Cloud is a cloud platform that connects project teams across the entire construction lifecycle—from design collaboration to document management, field operations, and cost controls. Teams use ACC to centralize drawings and documents, track RFIs and submittals, manage quality and safety issues, coordinate models, and run budgets, contracts, change orders, and payment applications.
Core product areas include:
- Documents & Sheets (versioned files, drawings, markups, transmittals)
- Project Management (RFIs, Submittals, Meetings)
- Field Operations (Issues, Checklists/Forms, Photos, Daily Logs, Assets)
- Cost Management (Budgets, Contracts/POs, Change Orders, Payment Applications)
- Design Collaboration & Model Coordination (BIM models, clash management)
Common data entities:
- Accounts (companies), Users, and Permissions
- Projects (metadata, locations, dates, status)
- Folders, Files, and Sheets (versions, markups, references)
- RFIs and Submittals (workflows, reviews, attachments)
- Issues (quality/safety), Checklists/Forms, Photos, Assets
- Budgets, Cost Codes, Contracts (subcontracts, purchase orders), Change Orders
- Payment Applications, Schedule of Values (SOV) line items, Retainage
The Autodesk Construction Cloud Integration Challenge
Construction teams rely on ACC daily, but turning portal-based workflows into API-driven automation is non-trivial:
- Module-specific interfaces: Docs, Build (Project/Field/Cost), and Model tools each have distinct UX and granular entitlements
- Enterprise security: Autodesk ID, SSO/OAuth, and MFA complicate headless automation
- Versioned files: Large drawings and models with versions, markups, and references require careful synchronization
- Financial rigor: Permissions, approvals, retainage, and audit trails must be respected programmatically
- Organizational model: Accounts/hubs and project-level permissions vary widely across stakeholders
How Supergood Creates Autodesk Construction Cloud APIs
Supergood reverse-engineers authenticated browser flows and network interactions to deliver a resilient API endpoint layer for your ACC tenant.

- Maintains session continuity with automated refresh and change detection
- Normalizes responses so you can integrate once and rely on consistent objects across modules
- Aligns with customer entitlements and role-based permissions to ensure compliant access

Use Cases
Project Data Sync
- Mirror projects, companies, and users into your internal systems - Keep project metadata current for analytics and reporting - Normalize addresses, geolocation, statuses, and dates for multi-tenant operations
Documents & Sheets Automation
- Synchronize folders, files, and drawing sheets (with versions) to your platform - Attach photos and documents to records in your app with time-limited URLs - Trigger downstream workflows on file updates (e.g., model updated → run checks)
RFI Workflow Integration
- Create RFIs from defect detections or field observations automatically - Track ball-in-court, due dates, and reviewer status to power SLA alerts - Link RFIs back to sheets, details, or model elements for context
Cost Management & ERP Sync
- Push contracts and payment applications from procurement into ACC - Reconcile change orders, SOV, retainage, and statuses with your ERP - Pull financial statuses for forecasting and cash-flow analytics
Field Reporting and Quality/Safety
- Ingest issues, checklists/forms, and daily logs into your data warehouse - Trigger follow-ups and approvals when thresholds or conditions are met - Unify QA/QC evidence (photos, documents) across teams
Technical Specifications
Authentication
Username/password with MFA (SMS, email, TOTP) and SSO/OAuth where enabled; supports service accounts or customer-managed credentials
Response format
JSON with consistent resource schemas and pagination across modules
Rate limits
Tuned for enterprise throughput while honoring customer entitlements and usage controls
Session management
Automatic reauth and cookie/session rotation with health checks
Data freshness
Near real-time retrieval of projects, docs/sheets, RFIs, and financial objects
Security
Encrypted transport, scoped tokens, and audit logging; respects Autodesk Construction Cloud role-based permissions
Webhooks
Optional asynchronous delivery for long-running workflows (e.g., payment app approvals, RFI reviews)
Latency
Sub-second responses for list/detail queries under normal load
Throughput
Designed for high-volume document sync and pay app processing
Reliability
Retry logic, backoff, and idempotency keys minimize duplicate actions
Adaptation
Continuous monitoring for UI/API changes with rapid adapter updates
Frequently asked questions
Supergood supports workflows across commonly used modules such as Documents/Sheets, Project Management (RFIs, Submittals), Field Operations (Issues, Forms/Checklists, Photos), and Cost Management (Budgets, Contracts, Change Orders, Payment Applications), subject to your licensing and entitlements. We scope coverage during integration assessment.
We support username/password + MFA (SMS, email, TOTP) and can operate behind SSO/OAuth when enabled. Sessions are refreshed automatically with secure challenge handling.
Yes. We can normalize contracts and pay apps to match your ERP schema (e.g., cost codes, retainage, SOV line items) and deliver updates via webhooks or polling while complying with rate and permission constraints.
Yes. We support downloading artifacts via time-limited URLs and uploading via signed/resumable flows with checksum validation and time-boxed tokens.
