# Introduction

Welcome to the Spexi API documentation. Spexi is a drone imagery platform providing high-resolution aerial coverage across North America. This guide provides everything you need to integrate with our platform and access drone imagery programmatically.

### Prerequisites

Before making your first API call you will need:

* A valid Spexi account
* An [API key](/api-reference/authentication.md) generated from your Spexi account

### How the API Works

The Spexi API provides programmatic access to drone imagery and geospatial data. The API is organized into focused modules, each covering a distinct part of the platform:

* [**Coverage API**](/api-reference/coverage-api.md) - check where drone imagery is available, by map tiles, coverage queries, or zone lookups
* [**Image API**](/api-reference/image-api.md) **-** search, filter, and download drone imagery by location and camera parameters
* [**Tasking API**](/api-reference/tasking-api.md) - request new drone captures for an area of interest and track orders through delivery
