This page is that call, running from your browser. The response includes elevation in meters and feet, plus the reading's resolution. Ocean depth uses the same field. Same endpoint on every plan, one pooled request per lookup.
QUESTIONS
- How accurate is it?
- This is a reference elevation for the ground or water at your coordinates, not your height in a building. The API reports horizontal resolution, often about 30 meters on land. Resolution is not a guarantee of vertical accuracy.
- Do you store my location?
- Coordinates are sent to ParseAPI for the lookup and included in request logs. The page asks for location only when you tap the button.
- What about the ocean?
- Depth comes back as a negative number on the same field, pole to pole.
- Can I do this from code?
- Yes. This page is GET /elevation, running from your browser. Same endpoint on every plan, one pooled request per lookup.
