Old Documentations

[Emkave]

Good day everyone. Recently I have noticed that the documentation for AC27 API has been removed. Does anybody has a copy or a link to the 27th documentation? Also, I wonder why the hell Graphisoft does not leave old documentations just in case?

Hi Emkave,

To get old documentations, I recommend installing the DevKit with HTML documentations turned on during the installer.
Then you can browse the documentation locally.

I also don't understand why GS handles it like this.

Hi Emkave,

Heaven and hell don't have anything to do with it 🙂

Here's the latest docs: https://graphisoft.github.io/archicad-api-devkit/

But Emkave doesn't want the latest documentaion.

They want the 27 documentation.

If it has been removed - why?

27 is still the current version.

Because we haven't implemented the solution yet on github.io that would allow developers to select the API version they are working with.

The API site has just been updated as the Archicad 28 Tech Preview is out.

Attached is the API 27 docs.

Best, Akos

Thanks for posting the 27 docs.

Hopefully you can sort something out on Github soon, as 27 is still the latest version until October when 28 will be released.

I am sure there are people still having to develop in 27.

And maybe some want documentation for even older versions? - I have no idea how useful that would be.

Thanks Barry!

For the Archicad 27 docs, that's entirely possible, and it's on the issue list; for earlier versions, you'll still have to resort to the old devkits. Moving the documentation to GitHub required a significant effort, and I'd rather spend those hours improving the API and solving development issues here. 😉
