What authentication protocol does Autodesk Platform Services (APS) use to authorize API requests?
Answer: OAuth 2.0
APS uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication, supporting both 2-legged (app-to-app) and 3-legged (user-authorized) flows.
In APS, which API is used to translate source design files (e.g., RVT, DWG) into a viewable SVF2 format?
Answer: Model Derivative API
The Model Derivative API translates design files into SVF2 and other derivative formats, making them accessible to the APS Viewer.
Which APS service provides real-time event notifications when a file in ACC is uploaded or a translation completes?
Answer: Webhooks API
The APS Webhooks API allows applications to subscribe to events (file uploads, translation completions, etc.) and receive HTTP POST callbacks.
In the Autodesk Viewer (APS), which JavaScript method is used to load a translated model into the viewer container?
Answer: Autodesk.Viewing.Document.load()
Autodesk.Viewing.Document.load() fetches the manifest for a translated model, after which viewer.loadDocumentNode() loads a specific viewable node.
When using Inventor's iLogic to conditionally suppress features, which method is called on a feature object?
Answer: feature.Suppressed = True
Setting the Suppressed property to True on an Inventor feature object removes it from the model calculation without deleting it.
Which Autodesk API allows an external application to read and write data to a shared Revit model in Autodesk Construction Cloud without opening Revit locally?
Answer: Revit Cloud Worksharing API via APS
The Revit Cloud Worksharing API (part of APS) enables programmatic access to cloud workshared Revit models for reading element data and pushing changes.
