The BCF Server is COLNEO's service for BIM collaboration and issue management, based on the open BCF (BIM Collaboration Format) standard. It lets you create, track and discuss issues (called "topics") tied to a BIM project, together with comments, viewpoints and attachments.
To use the BCF service, you first need to log in and get a token. This token proves
who you are and which project/environment (e.g. cn_a00) you're allowed to
work in.
Every time a request is made to BCF, this token is sent along. BCF checks that it's valid and reads from it who you are and which environment you should be working in — so you don't need to send your login details again on every request.
To get a token, log in using this endpoint:

Send your email and password:
{
"email": "user@colneo.email",
"password": "yourpassword",
"modules": { "bcf": { "scope": "cn_a00" } }
}The modules part tells the system you want a token for BCF, in the cn_a00 environment.
If your login is correct, you'll get back a response with an accesstoken.
That's your token — use it for every BCF request from now on, like this:
"accesstoken": "string"The token stays valid for 7 days. After that, you'll need to log in again to get a new one.
This is the reference page for the BCF service — every action it supports (creating a topic, adding a comment, uploading a viewpoint, etc.) is listed there with what you need to send and what you get back. It's meant for browsing and trying things out, not for daily use — if you just want to work with issues day-to-day, use the BCF client instead.

This is the actual application people use to work with BCF day-to-day. It's where you open a project, see its list of topics, open one to read the discussion, add comments, attach snapshots or files, and track a topic's status as it gets worked on. No technical knowledge needed — it's a normal web app, you just log in and use it.
