Q&A

How can I get URN input?

1. You can use aps-toolkit library to get URN of the item latest version.

from aps_toolkit import *
token  = Auth().auth2leg()
bim360 = BIM360(token)
urn = bim360.get_latest_derivative_urn("<project_id>","<folder_id>")

2. You can batch report urn to dataframe from BIM360 class in aps-toolkit library.

from aps_toolkit import BIM360
from aps_toolkit import Auth
token  = Auth().auth3leg()
bim360 = BIM360(token)
df = bim360.batch_report_items("<project_id>","<folder_id>",['.rvt'],is_sub_folder=False)

What is Meows?

Oh, my girlfriend told me the cat is so cute, Meows is the sound of the cat. So, I named it.
