Propeller Aero

Propeller Aero is a drone survey and earthworks analytics platform for construction, mining, aggregates, and waste sites. Teams fly a drone, process imagery with Propeller's AeroPoints ground control and photogrammetry pipeline, and get accurate 3D site surveys, terrain models, volumes, and progress tracking in the Propeller Platform. The Propeller Public API is a paid, premium feature (available on higher tiers such as Scale) that gives programmatic, read-oriented access to organizations, sites, workspaces, surveys, downloadable survey files (orthophotos, terrain, point clouds), user-defined shapes and their calculated widgets (volumes, distances, areas), and DirtMate position-monitoring data. It is a REST API over HTTPS authenticated with a Bearer access token or via OpenID Connect.
