Steps
Confirm you hold a PIX4Dengine Cloud license (contact a Pix4D reseller for a trial if you don't yet have API access)
Authenticate and obtain an access token per developer.pix4d.com/cloud-api/index.html
Create a new project via the API, then request temporary AWS S3 credentials for uploading source imagery
Upload flight images to the provided S3 location and register the uploaded files with the API
Trigger processing with a chosen template, then poll project status until complete and retrieve output asset URLs (orthomosaic, DSM, point cloud)
Known gotchas
API access is gated behind an active PIX4Dengine Cloud license/contract; documentation is public but functional API keys are not self-serve free signups
Processing templates significantly affect output quality/format; using a default template without review can produce deliverables that miss survey-grade accuracy requirements
The upload flow requires handling temporary, expiring S3 credentials correctly — a stale credential mid-upload fails the batch
