Newforma

Newforma builds project information management software for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. Its cloud platform Newforma Konekt (formerly BIM Track by BIM One) exposes a REST API and a buildingSMART BCF REST API for BIM coordination — managing hubs, projects, and issues along with their viewpoints, attachments, comments, history, sheets, models, and users. Integrations authenticate with OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect (PKCE) or a Hub-owner API access token. Newforma also ships the on-premises Project Center and the cloud ConstructEx products.

Newforma publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Hub API, Issue API, and Project API. Tagged areas include Company, AEC, Construction, Architecture, and Engineering.

Newforma’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, changelog, authentication, sandbox, and 20 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/newforma: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
