Autodesk Platform: ACC (Autodesk Construction Cloud) SDK for Python

autodesk-acc - Autodesk Construction Cloud SDK for Python

A Python SDK providing a Fluent API for the Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) APIs, generated from the official OpenAPI specifications using Microsoft Kiota.

Installation

pip install adsk-platform-acc

Quick Start

from autodesk_acc import ACCClient

# Provide an async function that returns the access token
async def get_access_token() -> str:
    return "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"

# Initialize the ACC client
acc_client = ACCClient(get_access_token)

Using with 2-Legged Authentication

For server-to-server communication using client credentials (2-legged OAuth), use the companion adsk-platform-authentication package:

pip install adsk-platform-authentication

import os
from autodesk_authentication import AuthenticationClient
from autodesk_acc import ACCClient

client_id = os.environ["APS_CLIENT_ID"]
client_secret = os.environ["APS_CLIENT_SECRET"]

auth_client = AuthenticationClient()
token = await auth_client.helper.get_two_legged_token(
    client_id,
    client_secret,
    scopes=["data:read", "data:write", "account:read"],
)

acc_client = ACCClient(lambda: token.access_token)

Usage Examples

Get Issues

# Get issues for a project
issues = await acc_client.issues.projects[project_id].issues.get()

for issue in issues.results or []:
    print(f"Issue: {issue.title} - Status: {issue.status}")

Get Clash Results

# Get clash test results
clash_tests = await acc_client.clash.containers[container_id].clash.tests.get()

Get Project Files

# Get files in a folder
files = await acc_client.files.projects[project_id].folders[folder_id].contents.get()

Get RFIs

# Get RFIs for a project
rfis = await acc_client.rfis.projects[project_id].rfis.get()

Using the .api Property

All endpoints are available through the acc_client.api property, which mirrors the full URL path. You can always use .api instead of (or in addition to) the shortcut properties:

# These two calls are exactly equivalent:
issues = await acc_client.issues.projects[project_id].issues.get()               # shortcut
issues = await acc_client.api.construction.issues.v1.projects[project_id].issues.get()  # full path via .api

Custom HTTP Client

You can provide your own httpx.AsyncClient instance for advanced scenarios:

import httpx

http_client = httpx.AsyncClient(timeout=60.0)
# Configure your client...

acc_client = ACCClient(get_access_token, http_client=http_client)

Rate Limiting

The SDK handles API rate limits automatically thanks to the built-in retry handler provided by the Kiota HTTP client. When the API returns a 429 Too Many Requests response, the SDK will:

• Automatically retry the request with exponential backoff
• Respect the Retry-After header returned by the API
• Retry up to a configurable number of times before failing

This means you don't need to implement custom retry logic in your application — the SDK handles transient failures and rate limiting transparently.

Error Handling

The SDK uses Kiota's built-in error handling. API errors are raised as exceptions that you can catch:

from kiota_abstractions.api_error import APIError

try:
    issues = await acc_client.issues.projects[project_id].issues.get()
except APIError as e:
    print(f"Request failed: {e.message}")
    print(f"Status code: {e.response_status_code}")

API Structure

This SDK provides access to multiple ACC API endpoints through a unified client. Every endpoint is accessible via the acc_client.api property, which exposes the full generated API tree. For convenience, shortcut properties are also available on the client to skip the common path prefix — but they are entirely optional.

Note: You never need to use the shortcut properties. They simply save a few keystrokes by resolving the common path prefix for you. The acc_client.api property gives you access to the complete API surface — including any endpoints that may not have a dedicated shortcut.
