Getting started with Archicad-Python Connection

The goal of the Automation API is to support workflow automation. A Python wrapper is provided by Graphisoft, but you can use any programming language to access this API. The communication between Archicad and Python happens via HTTP using JSON messages.
The Python package helps to establish the connection and hides the JSON communication layer. First, you will have to set up your development environment: Archicad – Version 24 or above is required. The demo version is perfectly fine for experimenting with the API.
Python – For executing Python scripts (version 3.7+).
archicad Python Package – This official archicad PyPI package helps to establish the connection and send commands to Archicad.
Development Environment – You can use your preferred Python IDE or even a simple text editor can do the job. The best way to make sure that your development environment is set up is to open the Python Palette. It warns you if something is missing from your computer and guides you through the installation process.
