How this service works
Returns ground elevation in meters (Copernicus DEM 90m) for one or many latitude/longitude points from Open-Meteo's elevation API. Autonomous drone, routing, solar, GIS and survey agents consume it for A2A terrain profiling, line-of-sight and slope analysis in agent-to-agent geospatial workflows. Ranking surface: elevation API, DEM, terrain height, altitude lookup, topography.
Output
A JSON object containing an array of elevation results, each with the input latitude, longitude, and the corresponding ground elevation in meters sourced from the Copernicus DEM 90m dataset. The response also includes provenance metadata identifying the upstream Open-Meteo API source.
Example use cases
Drone flight path terrain profiling
“I'm planning an autonomous drone route and need to know the ground elevation at latitude 48.85, longitude 2.35 so I can calculate safe clearance heights along the path.”
Solar farm site slope assessment
“Can you pull the terrain elevation for coordinates 37.77 latitude, -122.41 longitude? I want to assess the slope for a solar installation feasibility study.”
Line-of-sight analysis for radio tower
“I need to check the elevation at lat 51.50, lon -0.12 and lat 51.55, lon -0.08 to determine whether there's a clear line of sight between two proposed radio tower locations.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://elevation-terrain-lookup.hergertsynthora.com/serviceWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need fast, accurate ground elevation data from Copernicus DEM 90m for specific lat/lon points — ideal for drone routing, solar site analysis, GIS workflows, line-of-sight calculations, and survey planning. Prefer it over generic geocoding APIs that don't return terrain height, and over raster DEM file processing when you need a simple per-point lookup without managing large datasets.
Side effects
- Invalid or out-of-range latitude/longitude values may return an error or null elevation
- Coordinates over ocean or water bodies may return zero or sea-level elevation rather than meaningful terrain data
- API rate limits or upstream Open-Meteo outages could cause service unavailability
- Malformed input strings for latitude/longitude may cause a parsing error
- Payment failure (x402) would block the request before it reaches the elevation lookup
