What information is associated with a Dock?
Every dock claimed within your organization can be identified by the dock WiFi/UAV Name (eg Skydio2P-xxxx). In our API, we refer to this as the dock_serial.
Docks have a dock_type, dock_name, and can be associated with a Vehicle. The location of a dock is available when the dock's takeoff point has been configured within a site.
Docks connected to Skydio Cloud will also return information about their current state.

Example code
These samples use our example Python client
# Get all dock lites in your fleet
dock_resp = client.get(
"/v0/docks",
params={"dock_type": "DOCK_LITE"}
)
print(dock_resp["data"]["docks"])
