Swift Navigation

Sora API

gRPC service for collecting, storing and analysing device location time series. DeviceService (5 RPCs) takes device state and events from the field; AppService (29 RPCs) queries and streams that data and manages projects, devices, layers, annotators, alertors and event generators. The complete contract is published as a public Buf Schema Registry module. The endpoint is no longer reachable — see lifecycle/ — but the contract remains public.
