The cove.tool REST API can be used to upload your project's geometry and get an EUI breakdown. In this article we will go through a basic example using HTTPie. At the end of the article you will see an additional example using Python.
There are 3 basic objects: projects, runs, and run values. A project has many runs, and a run has many run values. The run represents the data for a given building type/use type. So a mixed use project with Office, Retail, and Apartments would have 3 runs. The "unique ID" is the url which must be included when updating an object.
Obtain an API token
Note that API tokens expire after 7 days and new one must be fetched. When the token will expire (in seconds) is included in the response.
request
http POST https://app.covetool.com/api/get-token/ username=username password=password
response
{ "expires_in": "604799.998047", "token": "aaaa1111aaaa1111aaaa1111aaaa1111aaaa"}List all projects
request
http GET https://app.covetool.com/api/projects/ "Authorization: Token aaaa1111aaaa1111aaaa1111aaaa1111aaaa"
response
[ { "name": "Project A", "run_set": [ "https://app.covetool.com/api/runs/1/" ], "url": "https://app.covetool.com/api/projects/1/" }, { "name": "Project B", "run_set": [ "https://app.covetool.com/api/runs/2/" ], "url": "https://app.covetool.com/api/projects/2/" }]Update geometry areas for a given project/run
Note that all values will be converted to the project's units (in the web app interface) by default. This can be controlled with the si_units parameter - a value of true will save the values as SI while a value of false will convert them from Imperial to SI before saving. The EUI data in the response will always be in SI units.

The API also supports uploading 3D vertex geometry for the 3D analysis view within cove.tool. The request URL for the API endpoint is the same run-values URL as shown in the previous section. The units for the vertex coordinates are feet (ft). The supported keys and their descriptions are listed here:
source: your app name & version identifier, e.g. revit-2.2.0
rotation_angle: (optional) the rotation angle (degrees) from North in a clockwise direction
floors: an array of floor objects represented as vertex and triangle data
walls: an array of wall objects represented as vertex and triangle data
interior_walls: an array of interior wall objects represented as vertex and triangle data
windows: an array of window objects represented as vertex and triangle data
skylights: an array of skylight objects represented as vertex and triangle data
roofs: an array of roof objects represented as vertex and triangle data
shading_devices: an array of shading device objects represented as vertex and triangle data
An example JSON request with the walls data is shown below. Note that you can send each category separately. For each wall there must be a Mesh with a list of Vertices along with the Triangles which refer to Vertices by index. Normal and Center are required for each mesh so that the faces are rendered in the correct direction/position. LevelId and DerrivingElementUniqueId are optional fields. We recommend copying this example to a code editor which supports JSON formatting.
