gRPC APIs

DroneDeploy Robotics uses gRPC (https://grpc.io) for communication between browser, platform and the agent: gRPC is a modern and flexible RPC framework based on protobuf. DroneDeploy provides high level SDKs for interfacing with the Robot Automation Platform in a number of languages; however if these SDKs are not suitable for your needs, you may also directly interface directly using gRPC.

If you are not familiar with gRPC, then checkout the overview and quick-start guides on the gRPC site, which includes examples in the various languages supported by gRPC.

To explore our gRPC APIs using Postman check out our guide here: gRPC Postman Guide.

DroneDeploy exposes a number of gRPC services, each used for a different function:

• gRPC Telemetry Message Service
• gRPC Control Message Service
• gRPC Command Service
• gRPC Service Call Service
• gRPC WebRTC Signalling Service
