## What is actually callable

Aereo publishes one machine-readable API contract: the Aereo Cloud **Tile Server**, an OpenAPI 3.1.0
document served at the API host root. It describes twelve read-only operations that deliver map
layers to the Aereo Cloud console. There is no developer portal, no API reference, no SDK, no CLI and
no MCP server.

Important for agents: the published spec declares **no servers[] block and no securitySchemes**, yet
eleven of its twelve operations return HTTP 401 without an `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header.
Only `GET /ping` is reachable anonymously. Token issuance is not publicly documented — it is a
tenant credential for Aereo Cloud customers. Treat this API as effectively customer-only.

## APIs

- [Aereo Cloud Tile Server](https://cloud.aereo.io/): Vector, raster, terrain and 3D Tiles delivery for drone survey data. Base URL https://tiles.aereo.io

## Specs

- [Tile Server OpenAPI 3.1.0 (upstream)](https://tiles.aereo.io/openapi.json): The provider's own document, harvested verbatim.
- [Tile Server OpenAPI (archived copy)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/aaravunmannedsystems/refs/heads/main/openapi/aaravunmannedsystems-tile-server-openapi-original.json)
- [API Evangelist overlay](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/aaravunmannedsystems/refs/heads/main/overlays/aaravunmannedsystems-tile-server-overlay.yaml): Adds the missing servers[] block and the probe-verified bearer scheme without mutating the original.

## Operations

- `GET /ping` — health check, no credential required
- `GET /vector/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf` — Mapbox Vector Tile
- `GET /ortho/{z}/{x}/{y}.png` — orthomosaic raster tile from a Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF
- `GET /histogram/{z}/{x}/{y}.png` — histogram-stretched raster tile
- `GET /mbtiles/{z}/{x}/{y}.png` — raster tile from an MBTiles archive
- `GET /terrain/layer.json` — terrain tileset metadata
- `GET /terrain/{z}/{x}/{y}.terrain` — quantized-mesh terrain tile
- `GET /cesium-terrain/layer.json` — Cesium terrain layer.json for a COG
- `GET /cesium-terrain/{z}/{x}/{y}.terrain` — Cesium terrain tile
- `GET /3dtiles/{filename}.{extension}` — Cesium 3D Tiles asset
- `GET /cv-tiles/{filename}.{extension}` — computer-vision derived tileset asset
- `GET /altitude` — point elevation lookup
