iModelHub is the control center for iModels. It is responsible for coordinating concurrent access to iModels as well as changes made to them in a form of [Changesets](https://www.itwinjs.org/learning/glossary/#changeset).

Overview of [iModelHub](https://www.itwinjs.org/learning/imodelhub/) and [iModels](https://www.itwinjs.org/learning/imodels/).

These APIs lets you retrieve metadata about the iModels pushed to iModelHub. To view, create or update your iModels use [iTwin.js](https://www.itwinjs.org/) client libraries.

Checkpoint is a pre-processed iModel baseline file that has changes up to a certain Changeset already applied and is stored on the server. This can be used to reduce number of Changesets needed to apply to get to a certain version of the iModel.

A Checkpoint is generated when a Named Version is created for that changeset.

Checkpoint can be stored in two different ways:

1. `download` property will have a Azure Blob storage link to a full `.bim` file that has changes applied up to the Changeset specified by `changesetIndex` and `changesetId` properties.
2. `containerAccessInfo` will have an access key to Azure Blob container that stores the Checkpoint in 4 MB blocks. **Important: This property should only be used by iTwin.js libraries.**

get-imodel-changesets

The $orderBy query option allows clients to request ascending using 'asc' or descending using 'desc' order of the returned collection by one of the item properties. Currently the only supported property for Changesets is 'index'. When neither 'asc' or 'desc' keyword is specified the collection is sorted in ascending order. To sort the collection in descending order provide 'desc' keyword e.g.: $orderBy=index desc

$orderBy

The afterIndex query option allows clients to query Changesets which have an index that is greater than the one specified in the query. E.g. to return Changesets that have an index greater than or equal to 2 provide the following query: afterIndex=1. This query option is useful when user wants to query the most recent Changesets starting from the one that is already present in the local copy of the iModel. This can be used together with lastIndex option to specify Changeset index range, afterIndex denotes an exclusive start of the range.

afterIndex

The lastIndex query option allows clients to query Changesets which have an index that is less than or equal to the one specified in the query. E.g. to return Changesets that have an index less than or equal to 10 provide the following query: lastIndex=10. This can be used together with afterIndex option to specify Changeset index range, lastIndex denotes an inclusive end of the range.

User is not authorized to update a Changeset.

Specified iModel, Changeset, Briefcase or file was not found. FileNotFound will be returned if the server cannot find the uploaded Changeset file.

Changeset already exists, another user is currently pushing a Changeset or the iModel is not initialized.

---

Clones the specified iModel. 

Cloning an iModel means that a new iModel is created by importing data from the source iModel. That new iModel is considered to be an iModel clone. Id of the source iModel is specified in the request url while the id of the target iTwin which will contain the new iModel is specified in the request body.

### Relationship between the source iModel and the iModel clone

iModel clone is a valid standalone iModel. After the iModel cloning process is completed, no new changes are synchronized to the iModel clone from the source iModel. iModel clone is not deleted if the source iModel is deleted.

### Content and metadata of the iModel clone

The target iModel name and description can be specified when cloning an iModel, by default name and description are taken from the source iModel. iModel extent is always taken from the source iModel.

[iModel Baseline](https://developer.bentley.com/apis/imodels-v2/operations/get-imodel-baseline-file-details/) is always copied from the source iModel to the target iModel. User can specify until which point [Changesets](https://developer.bentley.com/apis/imodels-v2/operations/get-imodel-changesets/) should be copied to the target iModel, by default all source iModel Changesets are copied. User can specify if source iModel [Named Versions](https://developer.bentley.com/apis/imodels-v2/operations/get-imodel-named-versions/) should be copied to the target iModel, by default they are not copied. The rest of source iModel entities are not copied.

### Operation state

Clone iModel is an asynchronous operation. To check the status of the operation please follow the link present in `Create-iModel-Operation` response header. The link points to [Get Create iModel Operation details](https://developer.bentley.com/apis/imodels-v2/operations/get-create-imodel-operation-details/) endpoint of the target iModel. When the target iModel's Create Operation `state` property is set to `successful` it means the cloning process is complete and iModel is ready to be used.

`Location` header value is a link to [Get iModel details](https://developer.bentley.com/apis/imodels-v2/operations/get-imodel-details/) endpoint of the target iModel which provides metadata about the the target iModel as well as when it is ready to be used. When target iModel's `state` property is set to `initialized` the iModel is ready to be used.

Please note that iModel may be marked as `initialized` before the iModel Create Operation is marked as `successful`. Such behavior allows target iModel to be utilized faster. The cloning background process first of all copies the critical iModel data and marks the iModel as `initialized`, and then copies additional data used to improve performance for iModel viewing and authoring workflows.

### Authentication

Requires `Authorization` header with valid Bearer token for scope `imodels:modify`.

For more documentation on authorization and how to get access token visit [OAUTH2 Authorization](https://developer.bentley.com/apis/overview/authorization/) page.

### Authorization

User must have the following permissions:
- `imodels_manage` permission at the source iModel iTwin level. 
- `imodels_manage` permission at the target iTwin level. 

If source iModel has iModel level permissions configured, then user must have at least `imodels_webview` permission assigned at iModel level.

Alternatively the user should be an Organization Administrator both for the Organization that owns source iModel iTwin and the Organization that owns target iTwin.

An Organization Administrator must have at least one of the following roles assigned in User Management: Account Administrator, Co-Administrator, or CONNECT Services Administrator. For more information about User Management please visit our Bentley Communities [Licensing, Cloud, and Web Services](https://communities.bentley.com/communities/other_communities/licensing_cloud_and_web_services/w/wiki/50711/user-management-2-0) wiki page.

### Rate limits

This operation has a lower rate limit than the rest of iModels API operations. If an application exceeds the rate limit it will receive an HTTP error code 429 "Too Many Requests". The error response includes a Retry-After header that indicates how long clients should wait before retrying.

There are three different ways to create an iModel.

### Create an empty iModel
 To create an empty iModel do not provide `template` and `baselineFile` properties.

### Create an iModel from an existing iModel
 To create an iModel from another iModel provide `template` property. The server will apply changesets up to the one specified by `changesetId` property to the source iModel file and use it as a Baseline File for the newly created iModel. User must have `imodels_read` permissions to the source iModel. Source and target iTwins must be in the same data center.

### Create an iModel using a Baseline File.
Creating an iModel using a Baseline File allows to upload a custom iModel file that will become the base file of the created iModel. There are three steps in creating an iModel from a Baseline File:

1. Create a new iModel and provide `baselineFile` property. **It is important to provide correct file size or the iModel creation will fail in the later steps.**

2. Upload Baseline File to blob storage using `upload` property link from the response of iModel creation.
```
Request syntax:
    PUT upload HTTP/1.1
Request headers:
    x-ms-blob-type: BlockBlob
```

3. Complete the iModel creation by confirming that Baseline File was uploaded successfully. See [Complete iModel Baseline Upload](https://developer.bentley.com/apis/imodels/operations/complete-imodel-baseline-file-upload/) operation for the documentation.

### iModel initialization

When creating an empty iModel it will be initialized immediately. When creating an iModel using `template` or `baselineFile` properties initialization will be scheduled and it's state is reflected in the `state` property. For a more detailed information about initialization state see [Get iModel Baseline File](https://developer.bentley.com/apis/imodels/operations/get-imodel-baseline-file-details/) operation.

### Authentication

Requires `Authorization` header with valid Bearer token for scope `imodels:modify`.

For more documentation on authorization and how to get access token visit [OAUTH2 Authorization](https://developer.bentley.com/apis/overview/authorization/) page.

### Authorization

User must have the `imodels_manage` permission assigned at the iTwin level or be an Organization Administrator for the Organization that owns a given iTwin.

An Organization Administrator must have at least one of the following roles assigned in User Management: Account Administrator, Co-Administrator, or CONNECT Services Administrator. For more information about User Management please visit our Bentley Communities [Licensing, Cloud, and Web Services](https://communities.bentley.com/communities/other_communities/licensing_cloud_and_web_services/w/wiki/50711/user-management-2-0) wiki page.

### Rate limits

This operation has a lower rate limit than the rest of iModels API operations. If an application exceeds the rate limit it will receive an HTTP error code 429 "Too Many Requests". The error response includes a Retry-After header that indicates how long clients should wait before retrying.

Retrieves a list of iModels belonging to the specified iTwin.

### Notes

The `Prefer` header can be used to specify how much result metadata is desired by the client. The `Prefer` request header field is used to indicate that particular server behaviors are preferred by the client but are not required for successful completion of the request.

This operation supports `"return=representation"` and `"return=minimal"` preferences.

The `"return=representation"` preference indicates that the client prefers that the server include an entity representing the current state of the resource in the response to a successful request.
The `"return=minimal"` preference indicates that the client wishes the server to return only a minimal response to a successful request. This is the default preference if `Prefer` header is not specified.

get-itwin-imodels

iTwinId

The $orderBy query option allows clients to request ascending using 'asc' or descending using 'desc' order of the returned collection by one of the item properties. Currently the only supported property for iModels is 'name'. When neither 'asc' or 'desc' keyword is specified the collection is sorted in ascending order. To sort the collection in descending order provide 'desc' keyword e.g.: $orderBy=name desc

The name query option allows users to filter iModels by their name property. E.g. to return iModels that have a name equal to 'Sun City Renewable-energy Plant' provide the following query: name=Sun%20City%20Renewable-energy%20Plant. Valid values for this parameter follow the same requirements as for iModel creation - strings should be not empty, consist not only of whitespace and not exceed 255 characters. This query option uses exact matching.

Checkpoint is a pre-processed iModel baseline file that has changes up to a certain Changeset already applied and is stored on the server. This can be used to reduce number of Changesets needed to apply to get to a certain version of the iModel.

A Checkpoint is generated when a Named Version is created for that changeset.

Checkpoint can be stored in two different ways:
1. `download` property will have a Azure Blob storage link to a full `.bim` file that has changes applied up to the Changeset specified by `changesetIndex` and `changesetId` properties.
2. `containerAccessInfo` will have an access key to Azure Blob container that stores the Checkpoint in 4 MB blocks. **Important: This property should only be used by iTwin.js libraries.**

A successfully generated Checkpoint will have one or both of these properties.

Creates a new Share to allow public iModel access.

iModels Share API provides a way to publicly share an iModel. Each Share instance has a `shareKey` property which allows anonymous access to the shared iModel using iModels API.
To use the `shareKey` to access the iModel one has to provide `shareKey` via `Authorization` header: `Authorization: Basic {shareKey}`, when calling iModels API.

All Share operations interact only with the Share instances that the calling user has created. E.g. querying iModel Shares will not return all the Shares iModel has, but only the Shares which were created by the user who is calling the API.

Retrieves the details of a Share.

iModels Share API provides a way to publicly share an iModel. Each Share instance has a `shareKey` property which allows anonymous access to the shared iModel using iModels API.
To use the `shareKey` to access the iModel one has to provide `shareKey` via `Authorization` header: `Authorization: Basic {shareKey}`, when calling iModels API.

All Share operations interact only with the Share instances that the calling user has created. E.g. querying iModel Shares will not return all the Shares iModel has, but only the Shares which were created by the user who is calling the API.

### Authentication

Requires `Authorization` header with valid Bearer token for scope `imodels:read`.

For more documentation on authorization and how to get access token visit [OAUTH2 Authorization](https://developer.bentley.com/apis/overview/authorization/) page.
