Is there an "Idle" Event raising when API methods are safe to be executed?

Hello,

I wonder if there is an "Idle" Event raising when API methods are safe to be executed?

My goal is to execute API methods when external Event (external to Archicad application) occur, without user input. I need to determine when it is safe to execute these methods to prevent Archicad to crash.

I've found this post but I don't find anything in the API documentation : https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-C-API/Call-the-C-API-continuously-every-x-minutes/td-p/355472

I've also found ponctual events but nothing telling me permanently when the API context is safe : ACAPI_ProjectOperation_CatchProjectEvent

Thanks

Maybe it helps

See the ACAPI_AddOnAddOnCommunication_CallFromEventLoop function

and ACAPI_AddOnAddOnCommunication_Test example
