This forum is for BIM 360 API/Programming questions ** NOT FOR MARKETING **

Dear Community,

BIM 360 API forum is for API (Application Programming Interface) questions for developing an application that integrates with BIM 360. 

We have been noticing that some people are making a post which is not related to BIM 360 API, sometimes looking like advertising to lead to 3rd party content.  Please be mindful for those who are trying to help community with real BIM 360 API questions, and do not post non-API questions.  

We have received a couple of feedback from our API community expressing that this forum is used for unintended purposes occasionally.

So wanted to add a note about the purpose of this Forum.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Regards,

I am trying to develop a feature inside our C# program to allow users to upload files directly to BIM 360 Docs rather than export to the file system and manually load from there to BIM 360 Docs .  Our program is used by many users in many locations. I have looked at the AutoDesk API tutorial that describes how to perform the upload.  I have little experience in web services and am trying to start by implementing the code for the 3-legged OAuth2 token.  Is it necessary to create a standalone callback URL as a web server or site or can that be done inside our C# program?  Can I get help architecting the program changes and the callback URL?  Does anyone have examples that show how the work can be organized?

Sure, I can help you with this.   marykayintouch

• To upload files to BIM 360 Docs from your C# program, you need to create a standalone callback URL.
• You can create a standalone callback URL using a web server or site.
• Once you have created a standalone callback URL, you need to update your C# program to use it.
• Here are some examples of how you can organize the work:
  • Create a separate web site or server that is dedicated to handling the OAuth2 token exchange process.
  • Integrate the OAuth2 token exchange process into your existing web site or server.

I hope this is helpful!
