Standard Procedure

Generally, the Bim+ REST API calls consist of three steps for accessing the resources.

1. Send a request for the authentication token.

2. Receive the authentication token.

3. Use the token for making the API request for any resource.

1. Authentication token request

The authentication request for accessing the BimPlus resource should be sent in the JSON format using the Authentication Service.

Example:

http://bimplus-dev.mantro.net/v2/authorize

{
    "user_id": "test@bimplus.net",
    "password": "test"
}

2. Receive the authentication token

The token is received in the request.

3. Request the desired resource
