How to include drone altitude in Live Tracker position updates?

bill

I've created a script that tracks real-time Skydio drone position information and transmits it to CalTopo, but it looks like the CalTopo API only supports latitude and longitude. See https://training.caltopo.com/all_users/team-accounts/team-tracking#trackabledevice

Example: https://caltopo.com/api/v1/position/report/SARTRUCKS?id=14&lat=36.47375&lng=-118.85302

I'd like to also publish the altitude of the drone, like:

https://caltopo.com/api/v1/position/report/example_team?id=ocd7&lat=37.7850138&lng=-122.407237&alt=183.29555

What is the query parameter to include altitude? Even if it's undocumented, that's fine.

    It's not something we currently support, although we're looking at adding it.

    Got it. I’ve updated my integration to now be able to track multiple Skydio drones simultaneously on the same as Trackable Devices.

    I’m happy to help test if this feature makes it into a release.
