Place Pathways API and webhook are now available as part of Design API. With Place Pathways API, you can automatically and instantaneously add fire pathways that meet code requirements to a design before using the AutoDesigner API to design the rest of your system. Place pathways will run using the AHJ data associated with a project, or you can optionally pass a IFC code_year.

With List Project Assets API, you can view project assets uploaded using the Create Assets API. Project asset objects will now contain a temporary_access_url with a link to download the file. The link has temporary access and will expire after 24 hours. Links are regenerated on each request.

The CAD auto-saved screenshots are now generally available. The CAD screenshot automatically captured on last in-app save in Aurora can be accessed using the Retrieve Assets API. You can include the screenshot with the rest of Aurora summary that you publish to your IT ecosystem. The relevant tutorial can be found here.

line_items array returned by Retrieve Design Pricing API endpoint now includes the component_type of each line item (e.g., “modules”, “inverters”). With the component type information, you and your systems will have greater visibility into what’s being priced in each Aurora design.

Project and Agreement resources come with updated_at field now. You can access these fields using Retrieve Project and Retrieve Agreement Sync API endpoints. With the update timestamps, you can be sure that your software responsible for syncing Aurora with your IT ecosystem has processed all recently updated projects and agreements.

Project, Design, and Agreement API resources come with created_at field now. You can access these fields using the following Sync API endpoints. With the timestamps, you can be sure that your software responsible for syncing Aurora with your IT ecosystem has processed all newly created projects, designs and agreements.

The List Racking Arrays API now includes information on the relative positions of adjacent arrays so that you can easily identify filler rows and staggered panels that can be racked together.

Auto-saved design screenshots can now be retrieved by a persistent asset id via Retrieve Design Asset API. As new screenshots are created, the asset id in /assets/{id} will remain the same while the url field in the resource will be updated to point to the most recent screenshot. This change will eliminate the race condition that you might have had to handle when retrieving screenshots in response to asset_created webhooks.

Racking bill of materials can now be uploaded with the new Update Racking Bill of Materials endpoint as well as retrieved as part of the existing bill_of_materials field in the Retrieve Design Summary endpoint.

You can now upgrade and, if necessary, rollback the API version for any of your API keys with the Admin UI. Simply click the Upgrade button on the desired key to upgrade. Consider reading the Versioning page in advance to make sure that the update will not adversely affect any of your integrations.
