Forma API for developers
Our vision for Forma as the future of AEC cloud software is highly dependent on a thriving ecosystem of contributors across all disciplines and use cases in the industry.
In order to achieve this, we now provide functionality that allows you as a software developer to build extensions on top of Forma. Whether your expertise lies in parametric design, carbon offset modeling or compliance with local zoning regulations, we want to ensure that you have access to the necessary tools which enable you to engage your customers and create business value through our platform.
The documentation provided on these pages will give you a starting point on how you can extend Forma capabilities with your own solutions. There are two types of functionality you can utilise to create extensions:
- Rich APIs and SDKs for writing generalised functionality exposed through embedded views within Forma
- Tight integrations to specific use cases
Read more about the different extension types in the next section.
We also highly recommend all developers to join our developer community to participate in discussions and stay up to date with all API changes. If you want to engage with the teams creating the APIs or to suggest additional functionality to empower your extension, we are eager to hear from you!
