Reality Data
Download API definition:
This API is deprecated. Please upgrade to the current version of this API as soon as possible.
GET https://api.bentley.com/realitydata/{id}/container[?projectId][&access]

Retrieves the container's link for an instance of reality data.

A container is where the reality data itself (a point cloud, a mesh, a collection of images, …) is stored.

The container's link will allow you to upload/download data directly to this container.

A reality data is always associated to exactly one container.

The projectId parameter is optional, but it is preferable to provide it, because the permissions used to access the container are determined from the project. With no project specified, the operation can succeed in some cases (e.g. the user is the reality data's owner), but we recommend to provide a projectId.

In future API versions, containers could be hosted in in different cloud providers, but for now, only Azure cloud is supported.

To store or retrieve data from a container, refer to the Azure Blob Storage documentation.

Authentication
