  1. To get the master data of all buildings, use the action GetBuildings. By default, the first 20 items are displayed in the response. To change the default, use the query parameters $skip and $top.
  2. Select the different properties of the object data you want to transfer to the ERP system. For more information, see Response properties under Addresses.

Get address data for a specific building

  1. Get the building ID for which you want to get the address data using the action GetBuildings.
  2. Use the action GetBuildingById.
  3. Select the properties in the response you want to transfer. For more information, see Response properties under Addresses.

Get all buildings that belong to a portfolio

  1. Get the portfolio ID for which you want to get the associated buildings using the action GetPortfolios.
  2. Use the action GetPortfolioById.
  3. Select the response property associatedBuildingIds.
