Get model Data without opening Revit in the ACC environment

Good day Revit community,

For the purpose of getting some insights about multiple information models, I wonder whether there is anyway to get that data without opening the models within the Autodesk Construction Cloud.

Regards;

The RVT BIM model is translated to a streamlined domain agnostic format for viewing and analysis in the cloud-based APS environment. That translation includes a lot of BIM metadata as well. If the specific data that you are interested in is included in that set, you can access it and query without opening the RVT model. If not, you need to open the BIM somehow. One way is to use Revit on the Windows desktop equipped with a standard Revit add-in. Another possibility is to use the APS Design Automation API for Revit instead, which drives a virtual cloud-based Revit engine to extract and optionally manipulate the BIM and its data:

Thank you @jeremy_tammik , I've been documenting the APS and the Design Automation API, it was mentioned that it's possible to process, modify, or even create data from the cloud environment. So what you are referring to is exactly what I am looking for !!

Thank you for your help,

Warmest Regards;
