Account management for admins

Getting started with APS APIs

To use our APS APIs, you'll set up a workspace that connects to your billing. This works for both free and paid tier access and ensures your API usage is properly tracked.

Key concepts

Team: Your organization’s space for subscriptions and billing.

Developer hub: Workspace for configuring API access, credentials, and environment. Each developer hub connects to one team.

Be sure to select the correct team before creating a developer hub in your Autodesk account.

Common use cases

New subscriber – When you acquire either the Free or Paid tier, a team is created, and your subscription will be assigned to the team automatically.
Already managing multiple teams – If you’re an admin (primary or secondary admin in your Autodesk account) and manage more than one team, you’ll be prompted to assign the subscription to a specific team after the purchase. You can also create a new team at this step if needed.

Setting up a developer hub

Once your API subscription is assigned to a team, create a developer hub through your Autodesk account. You can do that in Autodesk account -> Products and Services -> Hubs. Once the developer hub is created, you can add teammates to the hub and start building applications in Autodesk Platform Services.

As a purchaser or an admin (primary or secondary admin in Autodesk account), you can monitor APIs’ balance, usage, and spending in Autodesk account.

As a hub admin or a developer, you can see API usage in Autodesk Platform Services.

FAQs

Who can create a developer hub?

Team admin–primary or secondary admin–can create a developer hub. If you are not a team admin and need to create a developer hub, ask your team admins to invite you to the team and assign you as a secondary admin.

Can one developer hub connect to multiple teams?

No, the mapping is 1:1.

Can there be multiple developer hubs per team?

Can I change the team later?

There is no self-serve to switch to a different team for the developer hub. You can create a new developer hub for the other team or contact Autodesk to change the team. As a hub admin, you can move applications between developer hubs.

Who sees the team assignment prompt?

Only the purchaser of the APS subscriptions will be able to assign subscriptions to a team on the Autodesk account’s home page if they manage multiple teams.
