Info

Developers please use

Newwindowlink
titlehttps://api-stage.bimplus.net/v2
urlhttps://api-stage.bimplus.net/v2
(stage version of Bimplus API) and
Newwindowlink
titlehttp://portal-stage.bimplus.net/
urlhttp://portal-stage.bimplus.net/
(stage version of Shop/Portal) for testing purposes. The production version of the portal is located under 
Newwindowlink
titlehttps://portal.bimplus.net/
urlhttps://portal.bimplus.net/
  and the base url of the API is different for the production version.

Generally, the Bimplus REST API calls consist of five steps for accessing the resources.

1. Developer Registration

Generally our portal 

Newwindowlink
titlehttps://www-stage.bimplus.net/
urlhttps://www-stage.bimplus.net/
is the first place of contact of the user/developer for using the Bimplus platform. Please do the developer registration here.

2. Authentication token request

The authentication request for accessing the BimPlus resource should be sent in the JSON format using the Authorization service. The registered user name and password in the

Newwindowlink
titleBimplus portal
urlhttps://www-stage.bimplus.net
should be provided here.

Please, use the client_id from the request and regenerate the token (using the same API call with client_id as the additional parameter) for having the possibility to login multiple times at the same time. For more information, see here
