The Clash Detection API allows you to manage clash detection suppression rules, tests, runs, and results. You can run tests and monitor the progress.

Extracts the models and categories for the latest named version of an iModel.

- A status of 202 is returned if the extraction job was successfully started.  The job completes asynchronously so the user can periodically call [GET /clashdetection/modelsAndCategories/imodels](/api-groups/data-management/apis/clash-detection/operations/get-models-and-categories/) until a status of 'available' is returned with the response.

- Discover iModel ids by calling [GET /imodels](/api-groups/data-management/apis/imodels/operations/get-project-imodels/)

### Authentication

Requires `Authorization` header with valid Bearer token for scope `clashdetection:modify`.

OAuth access token with scope `clashdetection:modify`

Authorization

Setting to `application/vnd.bentley.itwin-platform.v1+json` is recommended.

Accept

Location

This response indicates that request lacks valid authentication credentials. Access token might not been provided, issued by the wrong issuer, does not have required scopes or request headers were malformed.

application/json;InvalidAuthorizationScheme

This response indicates that the specified iModel or project was not found.

The 422 (Unprocessable Entity) status code indicates that the request cannot be processed by the server due to a client error (e.g. malformed request syntax)

This response indicates that the user has sent too many requests in a given amount of time.

The number of requests exceeds the rate-limit for the client subscription.

retry-after

Specify the project of the iModel to be requested for models and categories extraction.

A human-readable representation of the error.

message

target

Gives details for an error that occurred while handling the request. Note that clients MUST NOT assume that every failed request will produce an object of this schema, or that all of the properties in the response will be non-null, as the error may have prevented this response from being constructed.
