description: DroneDeploy is a drone mapping, reality capture, and aerial analytics platform for construction, energy, agriculture,
  and inspection. Its developer platform is a GraphQL API (endpoint https://www.dronedeploy.com/graphql) that lets Enterprise
  and Developer Partner accounts query and mutate DroneDeploy data - organizations, projects, map plans, exports, annotations/issues,
  images, and webhooks - using a single strongly typed, Relay-style (cursor-paginated) schema rooted at the `viewer` object.
  A set of legacy REST APIs (Map Processing / Map Engine as a Service, Plan API, Export API) also remains available, but DroneDeploy
  recommends the GraphQL API for most integrations.

  description: Generate and retrieve map exports from a MapPlan. The confirmed `createExport(input CreateExportInput!)` mutation
    takes a planId plus parameters (layer required; projection, merge, contourInterval, fileFormat, resolution, and an optional
    completion webhook) and returns an export id; `MapPlan.exports` returns export status, dateCreation, and downloadPath
    once processing reaches COMPLETE.
