Elevation Profile API

Elevation at every point of a path plus total ascent, descent and distance — a full route profile.

Overview

The Elevation Profile API takes a path — a points array or an encoded polyline — and returns the elevation at every point, plus total ascent, total descent, min/max elevation and cumulative distance. Perfect for cycling, hiking and running apps that need a climb profile. Global SRTM data, so it works anywhere.
