ASMEAPI

ASMEAPI is an application programming interface developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) to provide programmatic access to ASME standards, codes, technical resources, and related metadata. It is designed to integrate ASME content into engineering software, compliance workflows, and learning platforms, enabling automated retrieval, validation, and reporting against recognized industry guidelines.

The API exposes resources such as standards documents, code sections, definitions, units and conversion rules, amendments, and revision history. Data can be accessed via RESTful endpoints or similar service interfaces, returning machine-readable formats such as JSON or XML. Clients can search by standard, code, edition, topic, or keyword and then retrieve content with version-aware identifiers. Large documents may be returned as parts or via document delivery services, depending on licensing.

Access is controlled through developer portals, API keys or OAuth tokens, and licensing terms govern usage, redistribution, and offline caches. ASME typically enforces rate limits, usage telemetry, and region-based access, with sandbox environments for testing.

Use cases include automated design validation against ASME requirements, compliance auditing, risk assessment, training content integration, and data analytics for quality management systems.

ASMEAPI is part of ASME's broader digital standards initiative. Availability and scope can vary by subscription and license terms, and the API is updated to reflect revisions to ASME standards.
