Feature RequestsAPI or Scripting Feature
Do you offer an API or any kind of scripting feature?
I would like the flexibility to write custom code to help automate parts of my workflow and make things move faster on my end.

Hey Luis, thanks for the feature request! We currently do not have an API, but it is on the list 🙂
Just curious... Any progress on an API?
Hey Shannon, nothing yet, but it is still a planned feature. 🙂
We are hooking up Ediphi with Databricks and doing some wonderful things. Wondering if we can get read-only API access soon to zzTO to figure out what kind of data this could help with too.
@Kyle you should also try our "Clipboard API" or "File API". If you hit / hotkey you can see Export Project Data to Clipboard and Export Project Data to File. That has all the info you would pull from an API (for the whole project) in one big JSON object. We have some users putting that into Claude and other AI to generate import tools directly from zzTakeoff into other apps with 1 click. This is on the Test Server for now, but will go live very soon. It even has all the point data for the takeoff sections. Users are creating some amazing plugins with this (we will have videos and screenshots of examples in the coming weeks).
@Heber,
That is awesome and got some internal traction with that, but it limits us. Now we are back full circle here again with the problem we all knew was coming.....I have so many zzTakeoff projects for one complete job we don't know what project goes to what takeoff. Need zzTO setup where one project goes to many takeoffs. For contex we are syncing the entire ediphi dabase every friday and its setup to handle one project to many estimates where we can find the most current estimate for the project!
