Field Boundary Management Overview

With Leaf, you can sync, export, create, and manage Field Boundaries from all major agriculture brands.

Getting started

To help you get started, we’ve created a quickstart Postman collection.

To make calls to Leaf's field API, you will first need to go through the previous documentation steps from Leaf registration/authentication to provider authentication. Once you’ve successfully connected a provider, you can manage the field boundary endpoints on the next page.

How field data is structured

Field example
  • Leaf uses a Grower/Farm/Field hierarchy to organize data.
  • A grower (also known as Leaf User) is the data owner entity to which credentials are attached.
  • Farm(s) can be grouped together under a Grower and Field(s) can be grouped under a Farm
  • Each field is tied to a field ID and its field boundary is tied to a boundary ID, which is the central concept for organizing boundary data. There can only be one active boundary per field.
  • Machine Files that Leaf merges into Operations are the results of operational tasks performed in a given Field.

FAQs

Can I use the fields and boundaries from my app/platform instead of connecting it from a provider?
