I would like to obtain the accumulated elevation from a request with lat and long.
I need an open data API without limit like OpenStreetMap but with elevation.

1Are you familiar with usgs.gov/products/data-and-tools/gis-data? Their site is very poorly designed, but, somewhere on there, that have 9m data (perhaps better) for the whole world, including Spain.– user3856Commented May 31, 2017 at 17:30

1Sorry, see if lta.cr.usgs.gov/GMTED2010 is more helpful.– user3856Commented Jun 2, 2017 at 6:26

1I was bored, so dropbox.com/s/xada9pibbzy1lzj/GMTED2010N30E000_075.zip?dl=0 and dropbox.com/s/u50yb75xh9gdiz8/GMTED2010N30W030_075.zip?dl=0 cover Spain and more. Let me know if you need help with these.– user3856Commented Jun 2, 2017 at 17:09

1Yes, the raster values are the elevations. I don't know the format offhand, but it shouldn't be hard to find. Google around, but ping me if you need help. There should be detailed docs somewhere.– user3856Commented Jun 5, 2017 at 13:20

1I never noticed the "bln" and "max" difference (btw, you can get these yourself in case I got the wrong ones: lta.cr.usgs.gov/GMTED2010). They cover two different areas. Google hangouts me at: [email protected] and you can self-answer w/ whatever we come up with. Or topomaps.usgs.gov/drg/drg_overview.html– user3856Commented Jun 5, 2017 at 16:05

If you are looking for an API to return elevation at a location have you looked at the Google Elevation API? More information can be found here.

How many queries are you going to make? You get 2,500 free requests per day! If that is not enough then it's $0.50 USD / 1000 additional requests, up to 100,000 daily. May be you should edit you question to indicate what you intentions are and the volume of data processing rather than just stating what you want? I would say 2,500 free queries per day is pretty good! It's probably cost us a few dollars of our time to just discuss this...– HornbyddCommented Jun 2, 2017 at 14:44
