At Evercam, we offer customers tools to do more with their construction camera data. Our API is publicly accessible, so you can build integrations, automate workflows, and create tailored solutions that meet your project�s unique needs.
Let�s Start with the Basics: What�s an API?
API stands for Application Programming Interface. It is a bridge that connects two systems, allowing them to share information and work together without manual effort.
In our case, the Evercam API allows your software, whether it�s a project management platform, reporting tool, or custom dashboard, to interact with our cameras and data. For example, you can:
- Automatically pull the latest snapshot from your jobsite
- Access recorded snapshots with timestamps
- Generate and retrieve time-lapse content
- Trigger events based on camera activity
It�s a way to unlock more value from your camera without logging in and downloading media manually.
Why We Charge for API Access
Our API is designed to offer real-time, high-volume access to snapshots, camera recordings, time-lapses, and more. This means each call to our API has real cost implications, especially as our platform scales to support thousands of construction projects globally. We charge for API usage to:
- Ensure responsible use. Without rate limits currently in place, unrestricted access could lead to abuse or excessive strain on our servers.
- Support strategic integrations. API discussions often involve senior technical decision-makers on both sides. At Evercam, we support these conversations with experienced team members who provide technical insight, best practices, and hands-on guidance. Real-value resources.
- Protect platform stability. Charging for access discourages misuse and helps us maintain the performance, reliability, and security our customers expect.
Public ? Free
We want to be clear - just because our API is public doesn�t mean it�s free. Open access means we�re transparent about what�s possible and encourage innovation within a framework that respects the systems, people, and planning that make it possible. By keeping our API available but gated by usage fees, we strike a balance:
- You still get the tools you need to innovate
- We ensure sustainability and quality of service for all users
Working With You, Strategically
If you're thinking about using our API, we welcome the conversation. Just know that, like any strategic investment, it involves time and thought from both sides. Our team will partner with you to ensure your goals are met efficiently and effectively, with clear expectations around cost and scope.
