Why Revit API 2025 is not available in revitapidocs.com? where can find it?
Revit SDKs and Tools | Autodesk Platform Services yeah the web version is not there.
This is not a site owned or operated by Autodesk, but an independent individual. That person has to take action to publish the 2025 version. I believe that a few of my colleagues have reached out to the owner, but there is a good bit of effort to keep that up to date, and stuff like the site hosting isn’t free. Sadly this means you’re likely going to want to explore other sources.
The SDK which @BimAmbit linked before is the official documentation provided by Autodesk, and providing a web version is not something which the Dynamo team can influence - best to ask on the official Revit API forum if you’d prefer to see that provided.

He’s probably busy or moved on to other projects. Nothing a fistful of money couldn’t fix, I’m sure.
Speaking in terms of ‘resources’ instead of ‘money’ - maybe. But like any kind of negotiation both parties have to be willing to accept the other’s terms.
If party A says ‘this will cost 4x the global GDP’ then party B isn’t likely to come to the table. If party B says ‘we’ll give you what you are asking but you must relinquish all ownership’ then party A isn’t likely to come to the table.
There is likely a happy medium, but I am not sure all parties want to enter such a negotiation.
For what it is worth I have asked that the team produce a web hosted version similar to what Autocad has in their web hosted .NET reference - not sure where that stands but it would be a great idea station post that I am sure the community could get behind.
…which gets into broader topic (off topic) of where ADSK is headed. Smells like and looks like they want to be an api platform and let others do the hard work of end user apps. AKA - MS/Amazon/etc… So, integration of all the resources in one location like learn.microsoft.comwould be a big step forward.
…and full disclosure long time stockholder.
Fuller disclosure: I work for Autodesk, but not in a situation where I know any more than anyone else does. Don’t use anything I say to make any purchasing decisions.
I don’t have any insight, but I can tell you that every user at an AEC company that I get to talk to wants things done to their local/regional standard not what was built for the needs of someone in select random geography and sector here
. That is why Autodesk has produced tools allowing you to build your own automations and customized tools since WELL before Revit was a thing. AutoCAD customized automation dates back to when I was still learning to read… and I’m old! These were and have always been VERY powerful and a core tenant of Autodesk’s business model and they can grow to become VERY powerful - look at Civil 3D which started as an add-in for AutoCAD as an example.
This also helps the product teams though as it means that the development teams don’t have to build a tool which works for every use case - take the path of travel tool as an example. If you go around the globe and sample a wide variety of users you’ll see there are about six (!) different ways people would have wanted this to work, but by providing the basic and an API to alter all of the methods can be attained without the development team having to become experts in all of the great many ways egress paths are calculated and documented before releasing a feature Revit can be made to work with all six major methods and the minor discrepancies of each if you’re willing to learn how.

Not old.
I was teaching AutoCAD on 80-character monochrome dual screen IBM when you were learning to read.
Oh I’m still old.
You’re just old+
