Autodesk Build connector

Is there a way to connect to Autodesk Build and retrieve photo's and Forms? Either through a connector or through the API. I can get acces to Autodesk Docs but I need acces to Build as I would like to add the photo's to a webmap.

Because the API acces to ACC Build makes use of a three-legged authorization I see no possibility to do this. The process needs to allow for a pop-up and I don not know a way to avoid this. I hoped it was possible to use a webconnection in conjunction with an httpcaller but I do not know how.

Does anybody have experience with this and perhaps an example?

Have you explored creating a new oauth2 webservice?

@hkingsbury I have tried to use the oauth2 webservice. But my my knowloedge of this is limited. And I struggle with the part in where the refresh token parameters are entered.

As Autodesk Build uses “3-Legged Token with Authorization Code Grant” I do not know how to get the token with the authorization code.

Has anybody succesfully connected to Autodesk Build API? If so I would love to hear how.
