Elevation

The Elevation Service API is a powerful tool that allows you to retrieve elevation data for any location on Earth. Whether you need to determine the height of a specific point or analyze the terrain profile along a route, the Elevation Service provides accurate and reliable data.

Key Features

Point Elevation

Retrieve the elevation value for a single geographic point by providing its latitude and longitude coordinates. This is useful for determining the height of a specific location, such as a mountain peak or a building.

Elevation Along a Path

Obtain elevation data for multiple points along a path or route. By providing a series of coordinates, you can retrieve the elevation profile of the terrain, which is valuable for activities like hiking, cycling, or route planning.

High-Resolution Data

The Elevation Service utilizes a high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM) to provide accurate elevation data.

Global Coverage

Elevation data is available for locations worldwide, allowing you to access height information for any point on the globe. Whether you're working on a local project or analyzing terrain across continents, the Elevation Service has you covered.

Flexible Integration

The Elevation Service offers a straightforward API that allows seamless integration into your applications and workflows. You can retrieve elevation data programmatically using HTTP requests and receive responses in JSON format, making it easy to process and utilize the data in your projects.
