AirPinpoint API Documentation
Platform & API for managing Apple AirTags, AirPinpoint tags, and MFI devices. Real-time tracking, geofencing, and multi-device management.
Welcome to the AirPinpoint API documentation. Our platform enables tracking of Apple AirTags and 3rd party devices.
- Real-time Location Tracking: Live location data for AirTags and Apple MFI devices
- Live Tracking Links: Share device locations with anyone
- Geofencing: Get notifications when devices cross virtual boundaries
- Enterprise: Fully managed iCloud, self-hosting capabilities, advanced geofencing features
Getting Started
To start using the AirPinpoint API:
- Sign up for an account if you haven't already.
- Choose a subscription plan or start with a free trial.
- Create an API Key
- Run the setup iCloud command on a Mac (below 15.0) signed in with your Apple ID with FindMy enabled. After you do this successfully, refresh and you'll see your AirTags and devices. IF you do not have access to a Mac, contact us and we can help you set up your account.
Important: The Mac is only needed for this one-time setup step. Once configured, your devices will continue tracking through our infrastructure without requiring any Mac or iPhone to stay powered on.
- Run the quickstart command
Once you've completed these steps, enable some tags and you'll be ready to start tracking! Our infrastructure handles all the tracking - you don't need to keep any devices powered on or connected.
