BIM 360 REST Endpoints problems

Question

we actually started with the BIM360 API at work. We implemented most of the enpoints that are provided by the API @ https://developer.autodesk.com/en/docs/bim360/v1/reference/http/

At one point I have discovered some issues. After succesfully creating a project with the API it needs to be activated. With first response which tells the project was created under an specific ID. Taking this ID and creating a new Request I get the following response:

"{\\"code\\":1001,\\"message\\":\\"You cannot change the status of a project that has no project admin.\\"}"

OK no problem I think and create a new Request to patch the Project with an project admin. But there I get following message:

{\\"code\\":1004,\\"message\\":\\"this project doesn't exist.\\"}"

@ https://developer.api.autodesk.com/hq/v1/accounts/:account_id/projects/:project_id/users

The things thats make me curious is that the Projects exist as Response from Get Project and is visible in the WEB Interface from Autodesk.

I tried to add an project admin with API again, but took a Project that was created from the Autodesk BIM 360 Webinterface. And it works, because it is activated automatically.

At this point I can't find a solution which it get working...

(Side note we using C#, the actual Autodesk API, RestSharp, Newton Json...)

Maybe someone else got it working?

Thanks for your time!

There is a tutorial: https://developer.autodesk.com/en/docs/bim360/v1/tutorials/activate-service/

Could you try that?

We had a similar question before and verified it works: Autodesk Forge BIM 360 API - Activating Service Types
