API to read/write data

I saw this discussion mid 2024: My Notes from Qonic Talks 2024

Pieter Pauwels: It would be great to have non-buildingSMART APIs really, so we can get to that cloud-based system. It would be nice to be able to connect the viewer to databases with relevant other information, one way or another. Also programmatically changing the geometry would be a nice future feature of course.

Qonic: Not that exotic actually. The goal effectively is that you will be able to read in data from Qonic, using it for instance in an external analysis tool and then bring the result back into Qonic. We’ve started our API developments just recently, but surely on our roadmap.

Just wondering how the APIs are progressing? Any updates?

Hello!

Our public API is now available. Our REST API lets you interact with IFC/RVT models—both to read data (like properties, materials, etc.) and write data back to Qonic. It is now possible to read/write properties on elements, and read/write to our libraries (materials, classification codes, spatial locations, etc.).

There is a sample Python and Excel application here: QonicOpen · GitHub

You can always find the up-to-date endpoints on swagger: Swagger UI

Looking forward to hearing your feedback!
