Procore Hello World

Overview

List companies and projects, then create your first RFI using the Procore REST API.

Prerequisites

Completed procore-install-auth with valid access token

Instructions

Step 1: List Projects

company_id = 12345  # From install-auth step
projects = requests.get(
    f"https://api.procore.com/rest/v1.0/projects?company_id={company_id}",
    headers=headers,
)
for p in projects.json():
    print(f"Project: {p['name']} (ID: {p['id']})")

Step 2: Create an RFI

project_id = 67890
rfi = requests.post(
    f"https://api.procore.com/rest/v1.0/projects/{project_id}/rfis",
    headers={**headers, "Content-Type": "application/json"},
    json={
        "rfi": {
            "subject": "Structural beam specification clarification",
            "question_body": "Please confirm the steel grade for beams on Level 3.",
            "assignee_id": 11111,  # User ID of the person to respond
        }
    },
)
rfi.raise_for_status()
print(f"RFI created: #{rfi.json()['number']} — {rfi.json()['subject']}")

Step 3: List Submittals

submittals = requests.get(
    f"https://api.procore.com/rest/v1.0/projects/{project_id}/submittals",
    headers=headers,
)
for s in submittals.json():
    print(f"Submittal #{s['number']}: {s['title']} — Status: {s['status']['name']}")

Output

Listed companies and projects
Created an RFI with subject and assignee
Listed submittals with status
