geoprimitives /v1/elevation/profile APIPOST /v1/elevation/profile · x402 API by geoprimitives

Send a polyline as an array of [longitude, latitude] positions and it answers with elevations sampled at equal geodesic spacing along it, from the USGS 3D Elevation Program seamless DEM, plus the cumulative gain and loss and the minimum and maximum. One call for a whole route rather than one call per point: 2000 samples cost what two cost. COVERAGE is the state of Alaska, whole, and nothing else yet; see GET /v1/elevation for the full statement, which this route shares and repeats under `coverage` on every response. Every sample is checked against the coverage before a tile is read, and a profile with any sample outside Alaska is refused with outside_coverage naming the sample. That check reads coordinates, so it runs after payment like the rest of the handler; the refusal does not settle
