Easy to get Started
Test your scripts quickly and easily using the SkyCiv API Sandbox. Paste your code on the left, and run the API. Your results will appear on the right hands screen. Serves as a great introduction to the input and output you send and receive.
Not sure where to start? Load one of our sample scripts to see real examples of how to run analysis, design checks, wind load calculations and more from SkyCiv's API.
Use our Renderer, for Free
Need a 3D renderer for your structure with screenshot and analytical result displays? We've got you covered. Simply embed a Javascript file, and you'll be able to leverage the full capabilities of our 3D web-based renderer. Make the most of:
- Display your structural model
- Mouse interactions (create your own click actions)
- Take screenshots and control view settings
- Review results and display analytical results
- Deflect and Deform your structure to review deflection

Commercially Tested Technology
The SkyCiv API is built on the same technology as our web-based Structural Analysis and Design software. This software has been used by more than 10,000 engineers from more than 160 countries worldwide.
SkyCiv also has built in verification and Quality Assurance procedures to ensure the accuracy of our structural analysis and design check software.
Not sure what an API is?
An API (Application Program Interface) is the ability to connect to our software directly, without going through the user interface. Simply put, API’s allow users to submit some kind of input, perform an action, and return with a response.
Other industries have been taking advantage of APIs for quite some time: Travel sites that allow you to search for the best flights from a variety of different providers are using the API’s from those airlines to give you that information directly in one location. Without API’s, you would need to go to each airline website individually. With the SkyCiv API, we can use the same concept for structural engineering. From a single click, you can generate a model, run an analysis, design checks and respond with a simple pass/fail result, without the need for any visual or graphical user input.
APIs are driving our industry forward, for faster more efficient structural design.
