The Snapshots API is a RESTful interface that lets Lofty pull and push location data from your account. It provides endpoints to fetch, create, update, and delete records as needed. This guide demonstrates how Lofty can connect securely and start syncing location information quickly.
Authentication ensures only authorized apps access data. Use a generated API key or OAuth token, attach it to requests, and scope it to the Lofty needs. Store credentials securely and rotate them periodically.
The available endpoints include location data retrieval and batch upserts. The exact list depends on your Snapshots API plan. Refer to the official docs for a complete endpoint catalog.
No heavy code is required. Lofty offers built in connectors and webhooks to map fields and automate actions with minimal setup.
Sandbox environments let you test connections safely. Use test credentials and sample data to validate mappings before going live.
When errors occur, inspect response codes, retry with exponential backoff, and log failures. Set up alerts for failed syncs.
Logs are available in Lofty and Snapshots API dashboards. Enable verbose logging and review error messages to diagnose issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
