A reminder about Workflows API changes, a new API to see who's active and logging in, and improvements to List Documents and List Drawings.
Reminder about Workflows API changes
- A reminder that the current Workflows API will be decommissioned on May 31, 2022.
- If you haven't already migrated to the new Workflows API, now is the perfect time to start.
- We've made it easy to migrate with the same endpoints and filters, however, there's a slight URL change.
- Find out more in the updated Workflows API Developer Guide.
See who's active and logging in to Aconex
- We've added the new List Organization Users API within the Directory APIs.
- Org admins can see who's active within their organization and when they last accessed Aconex.
- The API lists all an org's users, their status (enabled or disabled and locked or unlocked), if they're a guest user, and the last date they logged on.
- Only org admin users can use this API.

Transfer-Encoding for List Documents and List Drawings
- Transfer-Encoding (Chunked Response) has been added to support long responses.
- Also added for View Document Schema, View Document Metadata, View Document Event Log, and Documents Last Updated.
- View the Documents API Documentation
Pagination and improved filtering for All Filters List Documents
- New response fields for pagination are: totalResultsCount, totalResultsOnCurrentPage, totalNumberOfPages, currentPageNumber.
- A new request field "returnCurrentSetDocsOnly" allows you to return only "CurrentSet" Documents.
- Multiple Values (comma separated) can now be specified in the search filter for MultipleSelect List fields.
- View the Documents API Documentation
Authenticating with Lobby accounts
- You may be aware that the Lobby allows users to manage accounts across multiple organizations or Aconex instances.
- Please note that Aconex APIs are not currently accessible with Lobby accounts.
- For the moment, API users should continue to use their Aconex username to authenticate, whether using Basic Auth or OAuth.

A reminder about Aconex project locations (instances)
- If you haven’t updated your APIs in a while, you may want to review to ensure you’re including all Aconex project locations (instances).
- In the last couple of years, we’ve added (Europe) EU1 and (Canada) CA1.
- See the full list of Aconex instances / project locations on Support Central.
