Terrain

Terrain APIs

Query digital elevation models, compute slope and aspect, and retrieve elevation profiles for engineering, environmental, and research applications.

/dem

Digital Elevation Model — query raster elevation data from SRTM, Copernicus DEM, or ASTER GDEM. Returns GeoTIFF tiles or elevation values at points.

bboxresolutionsourceformat

/slope

Compute slope angle (in degrees or percent) from the underlying DEM for any given area. Essential for terrain stability and engineering assessments.

bboxunitresolution

/aspect

Derive terrain aspect (compass direction a slope faces) from the DEM. Critical for solar irradiance, agriculture planning, and ecological modelling.

bboxresolutionformat

/elevation

Point-query elevation at specific latitude/longitude coordinates. Returns elevation in metres above sea level with configurable source DEM.
