in BIM360 I recovered the issues with the specific issues method described at this link
https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/bim360/v1/reference/http/field-issues-GET/
For each issue I have "snapshot_urn" as information (if a markup has been added to the issue, otherwise NULL).
ISSUE snapshot URN
Is it possible to get the snapshot image via snapshot_urn? What API should I use?
TIA

I did it according to the example on the official website, but the model couldn't be loaded。I don't know why, I followed the tutorial, and I checked the API should be open normally，I think I need help. Here's a screenshot of the error；
I see two possible explanations for this type of error:
The model is coming from A360 or Fusion Teams. If that's the case, please note that models uploaded to these applications are not translated automatically by the Forge Model Derivative service (hence the viewer error stating that there are no "viewables" to load). You have to open the designs in their owning application first to initiate the translation process, and then you can try accessing them from your own Forge application.
It's possible that the sample application is having issues with some of the characters used in the file names. Check if the same error happens when you name your files using English alphabet.
Related to this 2-year-old question: BIM 360 Project creation template
Is there still not a way to replicate the Web UI option "Activate Document Management" -> "Apply a project template" that duplicates folder structure and role-based permissions?
Specifically, I'm looking at requests to create a project
POST projects https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/bim360/v1/reference/http/projects-POST/ supplying a template_project_id value
and then activate with
POST users/import v2 https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/bim360/v1/reference/http/projects-project_id-users-import-POST/
I don't see any other template input in the API documentation besides the first request, and that does not appear to bring folder structure along.
unfortunately, what you found is correct currently, creating a project from a template with folder structure and role permission is not supported with current API, but you can achieve that by yourself as shown in a sample project at https://github.com/Autodesk-Forge/forge-bim360.project.setup.tool.
This is actually a high requested wish HQ-5023 as you can see at https://fieldofviewblog.wordpress.com/2019/06/15/bim-360-acc-api-known-issues-and-wishes/#more-4424 , our engineering is actively working on that, we will update you at our blog if any progress.
Based on reading the documentation, and running some tests, this appears to be unavailable still. I would very much like to be proven incorrect by someone at Autodesk! Thanks.
I've been following this tutorial to successfully upload Revit & AutoCad files to Bim360 Docs using 2-legged tokens. I am also using the 'x-user-id' header.
The problem I'm having is after the model is published to Bim360 docs, it’s not viewable in the browser and derivatives are empty (see below). It appears that the model translation job never occurs. Isn’t this supposed to happen automatically for Bim360 Docs files? Could the 2-legged token be hindering this process? Is there another step I'm missing?
I've even tried to manually kick off a translation job after uploading the file by calling this API with NO success.
This image is the result of calling the manifest API.

Thank you for reporting it to us. Our engineering team is investigating the problem. But you should see the progress status 100% now, please haveing a try, thanks!
We have integrated AutoDesk Forge Viewer. We are sending a request to the Forge API's for conversion (using Model derivative API). After closing the Viewer, If we need to show the same file again, Currently we are posting the dwg file again for conversion to view it.
Instead is there a way so save the svf file in my local system so that I need not call the Forge web service twice for the same file.
According to the pricing, for every simple conversion job, its going to cost 0.2 credits.
Please suggest how I can avoid this same conversion second and n number of times.
Thank you,

Unless the DWG file has changed, you do not need to upload the DWG file again and/or POST a translation again. If you do this, you will effectively consume 0.2cc. Instead, just reference the URN you had received after upload/translation when starting the viewer. The 'bubble' or SVF persists on the backend depending of the storage policy you chose. For example, if you create a transient bucket, the file and bubble will persists for 24h, temporary for 1 month, and persistent forever.
I have found a reference to how to iterate through the bucket and see the files which are present in the bucket.
We can login in the below live demo using the forge credentials.

Thanks.
Few days ago I was able to make request to:
https://drive.google.com/a/{{domain}}/file/d/{{docDriveId}}/image?pagenumber=1&w=400
Via this API I was able to get image preview on multi-page documents.
Seems it's there, but times-out after some time. It doesn't work anymore. Does anyone know what happened? It seems there's no documentation on this API.
On the other hand, I am aware of the thumbnailLink URL when getting document object via API, but this will only get 1st page preview.
Any alternative solutions to this?
Thanks a lot,
M
That URL is not a part of the official Drive API and is not guaranteed to remain stable. The Drive API doesn't include the ability to fetch per-page image previews of documents, but you may want to investigate using the embedLink as an alternative: https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files
