As a Skydio Cloud API customer, how do I import my data?

Updated over 3 weeks ago

The Skydio integration opens up the ability to sync new and historical flight data from Skydio into your Air Control account. Simply copy your Cloud API token from the Skydio web dashboard into Air Control. The latest updates from Skydio now offer more battery data and media access as well as live telemetry within Air Control!

Start Importing Skydio Data:

Log into the Skydio Cloud Portal. From the Settings page, select API Tokens. Here, you can generate new tokens to use for setting up integrations. Make sure to provide at least Read Only permissions for all the token options. Don’t forget to save your API Token as you won't be able to access it again and will have to generate a new one if lost.

Once you have your Skydio Cloud API Token, a new connection can be added in Air Control. Log into the Air Control Web Dashboard. Go to Manage > Connections > Add Connection > and select "Add Connection" under Skydio.

Check the "Sync all users on Skydio account" option to add this connection for all Skydio Cloud users. Note, their emails in Skydio should match the email used in Air Control. Make sure your drones are claimed in your Skydio account as well.

If you'd prefer to limit the connection, uncheck the "Sync all" box and search for the operator that’s using Skydio, add their email address that’s also been added to the Skydio portal, and enter in the Skydio token.

At the bottom is the option to limit the imports to after a certain date. This can be used if historical flight data has already been imported, or if the drone was recently assigned to a new user and we only want to import flights for them moving forward. Otherwise, once the connection is enabled, all historical flights synced to the Skydio Cloud will appear in the Air Control platform.
