# Suverse Earth Elevation Point

> Suverse Earth Elevation Point is a paid API for AI agents from proxy.suverse.io, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns the terrain elevation in meters for a given geographic coordinate using Open-Meteo's Copernicus DEM elevation API

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability suverse-earth-elevation-point-65b75861 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What is the terrain elevation in meters at latitude 46.8182 and longitude 8.2275 — I need the Copernicus DEM value for that Swiss Alps coordinate.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, keyless, global terrain elevation data for individual geographic points without managing API keys or quotas. It is ideal for geospatial enrichment pipelines, hydrology and flood modeling, mapping overlays, and route elevation profiling. Prefer it over self-hosted DEM solutions when you want a managed, pay-per-call model with no setup overhead, and over weather APIs when elevation (not weather) is the primary need.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or out-of-range latitude/longitude values return an error
- Coordinates over open ocean may return 0 or null elevation
- Malformed request body (wrong bodyType or missing fields) returns a 400-level error
- Payment not completed or x402 flow failure results in a 402 response blocking the data
- Temporary Open-Meteo upstream outage may cause timeout or 5xx error

## How this service works

Terrain elevation for any coordinate from Open-Meteo's Copernicus DEM based elevation API. Returns elevation in meters. Keyless, global, fast. Useful for mapping, hydrology, routing and geospatial enrichment.

## Output

Returns the terrain elevation in meters for the queried coordinate, sourced from Open-Meteo's Copernicus Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The response is a numeric elevation value representing ground height above sea level at the specified geographic point.
