How the Content API Works

Connect it once. Never touch it again.

Connect Polycam to your internal systems through a standard REST API, and the manual steps disappear.

Your systems check for new captures on whatever schedule you set
Thumbnails and mesh are available right away
OBJ, GLTF, and LAS are available through a quick export step
Connects to Procore, Autodesk Forma, your CMS, or any tool with an endpoint
Nobody has to remember to move it by hand.

BENEFITS

Built for teams operating at scale

API access is available on Enterprise, built for organizations with developer resources and existing API-based workflows.

Reduce risk with automated quality checks.

Every capture triggers a review the moment it uploads — flag out-of-spec work proactively.

Monitor asset condition and material replacement.

Compare captures across visits to see what's wearing, what's degrading, and what needs replacing — automatically, not from memory.

Add capture documentation to every work order, automatically.

Scans flow straight into the system of record — no manual uploads, no work orders closed on trust.

Distributed teams work from one source of truth.

One capture pipeline feeding every stakeholder — no version drift between what was scanned, approved, and shared.

Ready to connect your field data to the rest of your business

Talk to our team about what a Content Management API integration looks like for your org.

What does the Content Management API actually do?

It gives your developers programmatic access to your Polycam library: list captures, retrieve metadata, and export artifacts (mesh, thumbnails, OBJ, GLTF, LAS) through a standard REST API.

What systems can I connect it to?

Any system your developers build the integration for: Procore, Autodesk Forma, project management platforms, CRMs, or internal tools. You decide where the data goes.

What data can I retrieve?

Whatever your integration requests: capture metadata via Get Capture, default artifacts (thumbnails, mesh) via Download Artifacts, or OBJ/GLTF/LAS through an export job. Nothing is sent unless your integration asks for it.

Is the API available on all plans?

No. The Content Management API is available on Enterprise only, as a separate add-on with an additional fee. Contact sales for pricing details.
