Logic Cloud Geo terrain service

USGS 3DEP elevation through a small, explicit API.

Supply WGS 84 latitude and longitude. Receive bare-earth elevation with units, source, resolution, provider, and reference metadata kept visible.

Three working patterns

Use the same service from a click, a table, or a transect.

Named latitude and longitude fields remove coordinate-order ambiguity. Ordered keys are preserved through batch processing so results can be joined back to the source table without guessing.

GET /v1/terrain/elevation

One point

Look up a map click or one known coordinate in meters or international feet.

POST /v1/terrain/elevations

Ordered batch

Submit as many as 500 uniquely keyed WGS 84 points in one request.

POST /v1/terrain/elevations

Line profile

Sample an ordered transect, calculate chainage, and chart the returned elevations.

Learn and reuse

Keep every request inspectable.

The public examples expose the same request, validation, batching, and export steps used to exercise the service.
