API News - August 2024

It's been a busy few months for APIs. Here's a recap of some of the updates you may have missed.

 

Get project owner details

  • Get the Project Owner Organization Name and Trading Name in the List Projects for User API response.
  • You no longer need to make a separate API call to get this information.
  • View the Projects API

 

Get email addresses for your organization

  • The List Organisation Users API now returns email addresses for users in your organization.
  • View the Directory API

 

Copy workflow templates, and a fix for reassigned steps

  • There's a new workflowTemplates API to help you copy workflow templates in bulk. You no longer have to manually copy templates one by one.
  • Using updated_after in your API now includes workflow steps that were reassigned. Note: This fix only applies to workflow steps reassigned after the August 2024 release.
  • View the Workflows API

 

Better performance for requesting documents

  • The All Filters List Documents API was failing for some users due to large amounts of data being returned.
  • We've added the returnTransmittalInfo request attribute to help this API perform faster.
  • With this boolean value is set to True, the response only contains documents that have a transmittal history. It will not contain any extra data type metadata which was generating a large response.
  • View the Documents API

 

Update larger files

  • The Supersede API now allows you to update files up to 100MB. Previously the limit was 5MB. 
  • View the Documents API

 

View OAuth clients for your organization

  • Lobby Admins can now see details of all OAuth clients that are registered for their organization.
  • You'll find the OAuth Clients option from the main Lobby menu.

 

Changes to user-bound integrations

  • The user-bound integration option now requires customers to specify a single Lobby account that is bound to the integration.
  • Customers can link one or more Aconex accounts to this Lobby account, as required.
  • Existing user-bound integrations bound to Aconex accounts will be supported until further notice.
