Geofence
Set virtual boundaries for drones — keep-in zones, keep-out zones, altitude ceilings.
Drone APIs
Connecting drones with your business has never been this easy
A unified set of APIs to connect business applications with drones — securely, at scale, and without rebuilding flight stacks. Onboard, cloud, web, and mobile.
Why FlytBase APIs
APIs to simplify your drone operations
One platform across hardware, environments, and teams. Drone complexity stays under the hood — your developers ship the application.
Unified API
Reduce development time and hassle with a unified set of APIs for onboard, cloud, and web/mobile applications.
Easy implementation
Our APIs abstract drone complexities, so developers with no prior drone expertise can get started in hours, not months.
Virtual drones
Test your drone applications in a simulated environment without risking any real hardware or airspace.
Enterprise scalability
Integrate the way you want. Meet the security, identity, and compliance requirements of large organizations.
Hardware agnostic APIs
We've done the heavy lifting so businesses can integrate off-the-shelf drones (DJI) and custom drones built on PX4 or ArduPilot — without compatibility issues or vendor lock-in.
FlytBase Drone API
Simulate
Spawn a virtual drone with the same API surface as the real aircraft.
Iterate
Replay missions, inject failures, and tune logic with no flight risk.
Validate
Promote the same code path to a live dock with one configuration flag.
Build and scale without risking the fleet
Simulate flights with a virtual drone before you ever spin a propeller. Iterate faster, validate edge cases, and ship application code with confidence.
Build apps
Build your own customized drone application on a developer-trusted platform
Compose your application from a focused set of API surfaces. Each one solves one job; together they cover the full mission lifecycle.
Navigation API
Plan and execute trajectories with waypoints, geofences, and altitude bands.
Payload API
Trigger payload actions — capture, switch lens, drop, or beam — from your code.
Vehicle setup API
Read and update aircraft profiles, calibrations, and capability flags.
Command & control API
Issue arm, takeoff, return-to-home, and emergency commands with audit trails.
Telemetry API
Subscribe to position, battery, link quality, and health streams in real time.
Video streaming API
Pipe low-latency RTSP and WebRTC streams into your viewer or recorder.
Gimbal control API
Aim, track, and zoom the camera from automation or operator handoff.
Mission planning API
Compose, validate, and version mission plans against terrain and airspace.
Critical APIs
Read the API referenceThe infrastructure APIs that make autonomy real
Geofencing, collision avoidance, dock control, and precision landing — the four primitives every autonomous program ends up needing.
Collision avoidance
Drones detect and navigate around static and dynamic obstacles in their path.
Drone-in-a-Box control & telemetry
Integrate with DiaB hardware. Issue launch, land, and recovery commands remotely.
Precision landing
Aircraft land precisely on a machine-generated tag — repeatable to the centimeter.
Features in a nutshell
Everything a serious drone team needs, in one stack
What you get on day one when you ship on the FlytBase API.
Rapid deployment
Develop and deploy complex drone applications a lot faster — weeks, not quarters.
Complete platform
Designed for the widest hardware compatibility and operational scalability.
Tried and tested
Trusted by 10,000+ users worldwide across security, energy, and infrastructure.
Security
All API endpoints are encrypted in transit and follow modern auth best practices.
Priority support
A real engineer when you need one — not a queue, not a chatbot.
Detailed documentation
Never get stuck. Reference docs, recipes, and live examples for every endpoint.
