    Autodesk Platform Services
    Autodesk Platform Services (APS) is a growing set of web services that increase the breadth and depth of your ability to automate processes and flow data across industries and projects, enabling better, faster decision making and time to delivery of your products and services. APS APIs help companies build applications that tap into their design and engineering data. From automated processes to alerts, 3D in-browser to virtual reality, APS APIs can be combined with existing software systems to innovate how you work and get more from your data. When you render 3D and 2D model data within a browser, the models can come from a variety of applications such as AutoCAD, Fusion 360, Revit, and many more. You can also integrate with the Autodesk Construction Cloud to extend its capabilities to reach segments of the construction ecosystem that don't have direct access to BIM data.
