Introduction to NavVis IVION APIs​

If you're a regular user of NavVis IVION, you might have asked yourself: Is there a way to integrate this more deeply with my other software? Or to change this part of the user interface? Can I build bespoke workflows and services for my own use cases?

The answer is yes. NavVis offers two APIs that enable developers to perform customization tasks — and a lot more — by building custom scripts and applications based on data or functionality from NavVis IVION. The API gives developers a variety of tools that turn NavVis IVION into an extremely flexible platform for working with 3D spatial data.

This introduction provides you with information to getting started with NavVis IVION REST API and the NavVis IVION Frontend API.
Note: In order to use the NavVis IVION APIs, it is necessary to have development capabilities in-house or contract out to a competent third-party developer. The NavVis IVION APIs simplify the work of building custom scripts and applications, but they are intended for use by developers and are not intended for users which have no development background. If you need further help with this do not hesitate to contact your Customer Success Manager.
