Integrations & APIs
Connect your systems to the App-écho.
Alpes-éco offers a complete integration offering for manufacturers, institutions and technical partners wishing to connect their devices to the App-écho or retrieve its data.
From backend integration to custom hardware, by way of our data, elevation and satellite imagery APIs, we cover the entire technical chain.
Backend integration
Connect any device to the App-écho
Alpes-éco handles the complete integration of any third-party tracker or sensor into the App-écho. We connect to the manufacturer's MQTT server or to our own infrastructure, retrieve the raw data, develop the custom decoder and integrate the stream into the entire écho pipeline.
Each integration is studied case by case. Contact us with your device's technical specifications and we will come back to you with a proposal.
- Connection to the manufacturer's MQTT server or deployment of a dedicated broker
- Development of a custom decoder for raw data
- Complete integration into the écho pipeline, raw data, hub, database
- Application of the écho calculation algorithms: VAI, CEL, DDL, THI and more
- Creation of new calculation engines if required
- Complete management of databases and history
- Integration into alerts, notifications and analysis modules
Satellite imagery API
Our own tile engine, processed and refined in house
We do not redistribute an existing stream: we produce our own. Our infrastructure fetches the least cloudy Sentinel-2 scenes, computes the indices on the raw bands, refines the image through super-resolution and serves the result as standard tiles. Europe-wide coverage, with no call quota.
Five layers are available, including a true-colour layer never retouched in colorimetry, and an NDVI with an agronomic palette designed to read the state of the grass. Vector overlays are added on request, merged server-side: water network, roads and trails, named summits, cadastre.
This engine already feeds the mapping modules of the App-écho. It can be opened to your own applications, as a dedicated access.
- True colour, faithful, refined by super-resolution
- NDVI, agronomic palette for the state of the vegetation
- NDWI and NDMI, surface water and moisture
- False colour, infrared reading
- Merged overlays: water, roads, summits, cadastre
- Standard XYZ tiles, compatible with Mapbox, Leaflet, Cesium, OpenLayers
- Europe-wide coverage, with no call limit

Terrain elevation API
High-precision digital elevation model for Europe
Our elevation API queries our digital terrain model based on Copernicus data. Get the precise altitude of any point in Europe in a few milliseconds.
- Single point query, latitude and longitude to altitude
- Grouped queries up to 1000 points
- Complete Europe coverage
- Response time under 100 ms
- Spatial resolution 30 metres
- Standard JSON format
// Requête point unique
GET /api/elevation?lat=46.2044&lon=7.3588
// Réponse JSON
{
"latitude": 46.2044,
"longitude": 7.3588,
"altitude": 2847,
"unit": "meters"
}The exact endpoints and keys are provided after validation of your request.
Data retrieval API
Export écho data to your third-party platforms
Alpes-éco creates dedicated endpoints so your third-party platforms can retrieve your écho devices' data. Token-secured access, real-time or historical stream, standard JSON format.
Ideal for connecting écho to an agricultural ERP, a research platform, an institutional dashboard or any third-party system needing your field data.
- Dedicated endpoints per client or project
- Secure token authentication
- Real-time data or complete history
- Standard JSON format, compatible with all platforms
- Choice of exposed data: position, activity, CEL, THI, alerts
- Technical documentation included
Custom hardware
Housings, power supply and custom products, made in Switzerland
Beyond software, Alpes-éco designs and manufactures hardware solutions adapted to your constraints. Proprietary housings machined in Switzerland, power supply modification, adaptation to collar format, up to a fully custom product.
Ideal for scientific, institutional or industrial projects requiring a product adapted to specific field constraints.
- Design and machining of specific POM housings, made in Switzerland
- Modification and adaptation of the power supply
- Adaptation to mounting constraints: collar, harness, special fixing
- IP69 certification, maximum waterproofing
- Complete custom product, tracker and housing
- Prototyping and limited series
