BIMobject API Demo Desktop Application: Authorization code with Proof key example.

An example of how you can use the authorization code with proof key flow from a Windows desktop application to connect to the BIMobject API to search and list products, and download a file. This example is configured to only download load rfa (Revit) files.

Introduction

When developing native applications it is important to follow best practices, this requires using a browser in the authorization process, but not an embedded browser.

This sample demonstrates how with the client ID and client secret from the developer.bimobject.com you can send an authorization request where a user can either either login in and approve the API usage or, if they are already logged in, just need to approve the API scopes. It shows that upon completing this consent process, you will recieve and authorization code using a local loopback socket, and by exchanging that code for authorization tokens will allow the application to call the BIMobject API.
