This sample shows how you can use the Data Management API to upload files to your application's own private bucket on OSS, get it translated using the Model Derivative API and then retrieve the generated thumbnail. The front-end will look like this:
Note: you can only get simple files translated, i.e. files which reference other files (like an Inventor assembly) will have no geometry in their translated version.
- Apply for your own credentials (API keys) from developer.autodesk.com
- Fill the form's Consumer Key & Consumer Secret with your Forge app's credentials
- Click Generate Token in order to authenticate with the Forge webservices. This will fill the Access Token text field of the form
- Specify a Bucket Name you want to use. Note that it needs to be lower case characters and numbers and needs to be globally unique. One easy way to make sure that it will be unique is to use the lower case version of your Consumer Key as the first part of the Bucket Name and then add something to that
- Click Upload File to create the new bucket and upload a file to it. This will also start the translation process and will write information about how far the translation got
- The Urn's field will keep a list of all the files that got uploaded to your bucket. Once the translation finished for a specific item then the thumbnail for it will become available. Now when you select an item from the Urn's list then the file's thumbnail will appear in the bottom part of the form
