Get the elevation of every point on earth. So fast, much good!
This API provides you with access to elevation data across Earth's globe, absolutely free of charge.
To use the API, make a GET request to this endpoint with the required parameters. Here is an example request:
https://www.elevation-api.eu/elevation/:lat/:lon
The API will return the elevation in meters. For example:
42
If the point is not into the DEM dataset, the response code will be 501 (or Null
in JSON mode)
Append ?json
to your query to have the return content as a json payload
https://www.elevation-api.eu/elevation/46.24566/6.17081?json
The digital elevation data comes from ESA's Copernicus program.
Don't be a dick. Less than 10/s is okay
