Tridify API

API functionalities

Tridify API is designed for web developers who want to use the Tridify BIM Publishing Service to process IFCs straight from their own software.

A preferable option is to use the API. For that, you need a valid Tridify API key*. The other option is to have a valid, up-to-date Tridify cookie on your browser.  Our current version of the API can be found in the end point url.

The main functionalities of the Tridify API are:

• Get users’ projects and files
• Upload file to a project
• Check the status of the file on upload and processing
• Download result files

Detailed information about the Tridify API can be found in our Swagger documentation.

Here is a basic workflow for uploading a file to the Tridify service, processing it and downloading the results.
Base URL for all API calls is https://ws.tridify.com/api/

1. Get users’ projects
   End point: GET /v1/projects
   Response: This will list all the projects that the user has access to.
2. Create upload id for a specific project
   End point: POST /v1/projects/{projectId}/uploads
   Response: New ID for the new upload
3. Create a pre-signed url for uploading the file to the project.
   End point: POST /v1/projects/{projectId}/uploads
   Response: Pre-signed URL where you can upload the file
4. Upload the file
   End point: PUT pre-signed and file in binary
   Response: 200 if all went well
5. Check the state of the uploaded file
   End point: GET /v1/uploads/{uploadId}/state
   Response: File state
   The uploaded file will be automatically validated and processed. Once the state is “convert-ifc-finished” the file is successfully processed and ready for download.
6. Get list of processed files
   End point: GET /v1/uploads/{uploadId}/files?format={fileformat}
   Response: List of file names generated from uploaded file
   Supported file formats are Collada and glTF
7. Generate download URL for the specific file
   End point: POST /v1/uploads/{uploadId}/download/{fileName}
   Response URL for the data for downloading.

Now you have successfully uploaded the IFC file to Tridify’s service and downloaded the processed files.
