Create Operation Example
Here’s a basic example of how to create a new operation using curl:
#!/bin/bash
# Base variables
API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
BASE_URL="https://portal.demo.unifly.tech/api/gcs"
SERIAL_NUMBER="your-drone-serial-number"
# (Optional) If you haven't selected a pilot / observers yet, see:
# - xref:examples/get-pilots-curl.adoc[List Pilots Example]
# Replace with actual UUIDs from the endpoints above
PILOT_UUID="45bf1aef-20f4-4a46-9011-a4a1bf9b7f82"
# Create new operation
curl -X POST "${BASE_URL}/uas/${SERIAL_NUMBER}/operations" \
-H "apikey: ${API_KEY}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/vnd.geo+json" \
-d @- <<'JSON'
