What kind of flight logs can the Flight Reader API process?
The Flight Reader API is able to decrypt and process TXT flight logs from DJI GO/Fly/Pilot or other applications that use the DJI SDK.
Note: The Flight Reader API cannot process DAT flight logs. Most of DJI's current drones create encrypted DAT flight logs — and those cannot be decrypted by any API.
What kind of data can the Fight Reader API generate?
The Flight Reader API processes DJI TXT flight logs and returns a CSV file containing flight log fields recorded every 1/10 of a second. The flight log
fields included in that CSV file can be selected and reordered to produce a customized output that best meets your needs. In order to decrease the API response time, the
output should be limited to only those flight log fields you intend to use.
See the Flight Reader API
documentation for more details.
Who has access to the flight logs processed by the Flight Reader API?
Flight logs must be uploaded to the Flight Reader API in order to process them. Once processed, those uploaded flight logs are deleted immediately. Nobody (including DJI) will be able to access flight data processed by the Flight Reader API.
When will I be billed?
For the Pay As You Go plan, all charges for the current month will be billed on the 1st day of the following month. For example, if you
made 250 API requests in the month of June, $5.00 (250 x $0.02) will be charged to the credit card on file on July 1st.
For the Premium plan, you'll be charged $59 immediately upon signing up and $59 monthly from that point on until your subscription is
cancelled. If you make more than 10,000 API requests in any billing cycle, you'll be charged $0.005 per additional API request. For example, if you made
10,200 API requests in the current subscription period, $59 + $1 (200 x $0.005) will be charged to the credit card on file when the next subscription
payment is due.
How can I access the Flight Reader API after signing up?
After signing up for one of the above plans, you'll receive an email from
[email protected]
with the information needed to access the Flight Reader API. If you do not receive that email within a few minutes, then check your spam folder to ensure the
email was not captured there. Please email
