  title: DroneDeploy GraphQL API
  description: 'DroneDeploy''s public GraphQL API exposes the DroneDeploy reality-capture platform (aerial photogrammetry, ground 360 capture, robotics, exports) through a single POST endpoint at https://www.dronedeploy.com/graphql.

    All requests are GraphQL queries or mutations sent as JSON to /graphql. Forward, cursor-based pagination is used for all one-to-many relationships (Relay-style edges / nodes / pageInfo with hasNextPage and endCursor). Authentication uses an API key passed via the Authorization: Bearer header. API keys are issued by DroneDeploy Support for existing developers or the Sales team for Developer Partner and Enterprise accounts.

    Interactive exploration is available at https://www.dronedeploy.com/graphiql/ where logged-in DroneDeploy users can introspect the live schema.

      summary: Execute GraphQL Operation
      description: 'Execute any GraphQL query, mutation, or introspection request against the DroneDeploy schema. The same endpoint serves the `viewer` query, the `node(id:)` interface, the `plans` connection on an organization, the `exports` connection on a MapPlan, and the `createExport` mutation (and other mutations exposed by the live schema).
