INVENTA
The INVENTA Application Programming Interface (API) provides read access to wildlife telemetry data collected by VECTRONIC tracking devices, including GPS collars, implants, proximity sensors, separation sensors, and trap transmitters. The API supports retrieval of positions, activities, mortality events, proximity events, separation events, trap events, and associated device metadata. It is designed for integration with external applications, systems, databases, and workflows for advanced data processing.
Key Features:
- Read wildlife telemetry data, including positions, activities, mortality events, and other event types.
- Access collar and trap metadata.
- Integrate data into custom applications, databases, and workflows.
- Access data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Enable periodic data retrieval for custom applications, whether manual or automated.
Authentication
Access to the INVENTA API requires an INVENTA API key. API keys can be generated through the INVENTA web application.
Always include your API key in the x-api-key HTTP request header.
Example:
1 GET /v1/collars
2 Host: https://api.inventa.vectronic-wildlife.com
3 x-api-key: <api-key>
Keep your API key confidential and do not share it in public repositories, documentation, screenshots, or source code.
Swagger Documentation
The Swagger API documentation provides detailed information about available endpoints, request parameters, response structures, pagination, authentication requirements, and data models.
Python Client
For users who prefer a ready-to-use solution for downloading and synchronizing INVENTA data, the open-source INVENTA Python Client is available. The client supports local database storage, incremental downloads, and scheduled synchronization workflows.
