Archicad 24 API & other announcements

[Akos Somorjai]

Folks,

The Archicad 24 API devkits is available on the API site https://archicadapi.graphisoft.com.

We have also created a landing page (https://graphisoft.com/downloads/python) for those who are interested in the capabilities of the brand new Python/JSON API. Please note that this approach differs from the previous experimental version in many ways, so make sure to go through at least the introduction section

Beside the well-known archicadapi@graphisoft.com email address you can also contact us via the new customer support service desk, https://graphisoft.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/5. Please note that all email issues are routed to this portal as well, so even if you started with an email you may continue on the service desk portal.

On the personal side, I'm changing hats this year, being offered the greater responsibility of shaping the future direction of Archicad as a platform. That also means moving away from the day-to-day API support I've been doing for 22 years — anyone remembers API 1.3 in 1997 ? So, with some sadness I'd like to pass the steering wheel to Tibor Lorántfy and the developer support team to continue the tradition of giving the best help you can get.

Archicad API rocks!

I remember seeing an example script to create a Layout Book from Excel.

I think it was on the Developer blog written by Ákos or Tibor, but I cannot seem to find it now.
The GS website examples don't contain that one, if I'm not mistaken.

Could someone help me out where to find it?
