APIs

Agriculture industry partners can connect to PTx FarmENGAGE APIs to exchange data between FarmENGAGE accounts, connected terminals and their applications.

FarmENGAGE APIs Extend Value and Workflows

FarmENGAGE solutions connect in-field devices and operational workflows to efficiently execute crop production plans and collect the most robust dataset in the industry.

As part of FarmENGAGE, APIs extend these workflows by connecting to and enabling compatibility with non-PTx applications that deliver additional use cases for the farmer and their business partners.

Common operations supported by FarmENGAGE APIs

FarmENGAGE APIs support a large number of data exchanges and workflows. Here are just a few of the most common operations.
· Access as-applied data from connected terminals in third-party applications
· Send prescriptions from third-party applications to connected terminals
· Align field resources (e.g., Client/Farm/Field, Boundaries, Guidance Lines, Landmarks) between third-party applications and connected terminals

Types of Integrations

Applications that connect to FarmENGAGE APIs often fall into one of three categories.

Industry Partner Software Application

 

These connections allow users to incorporate third-party applications into their workflow for tasks such as creating boundaries or guidance lines to use for field operations, developing prescriptions for variable rate applications, or generating compliance reports based on as-applied data.

FarmENGAGE APIs simplify the transfer of information between the customer's third-party application account and their FarmENGAGE accounts and connected terminals, enhancing the functionality and benefits of each component in the workflow.

Businesses Offering Services

 

Different businesses may offer market-specific services that range from mapping field boundaries for farmers and performing agronomic analysis, to assisting with general data management. Despite the diversity in their service offerings, these companies leverage FarmENGAGE APIs to connect to their customers' FarmENGAGE account and connected terminals, enabling them to deliver differentiated services in their local market.

Large Production Farms

 

Farms with tens to hundreds of connected devices (whether PTx Trimble GFX displays or AGCO terminals) in the field use FarmENGAGE APIs to establish a connection between the field and their own databases to seamlessly exchange data. This connection results in significant data transfer efficiencies that cannot be attained through any other means.
