API Géoplateforme - Calcul altimétriqueGéoplateforme API - Elevation calculation
This API from the Géoplateforme, operated by France's national mapping agency (IGN), provides elevation data for one or several points and can compute an elevation profile along a curve or path. It relies on elevation reference resources to return altitude values for locations across France. Access is free and does not require authentication, but usage is limited to 5 requests per second per IP address. The service is intended for applications needing terrain height information, such as mapping tools, route planning, or geospatial analysis.L’API de calcul altimétrique de la Géoplateforme permet d’obtenir l’altitude d’un ou de plusieurs points et un profil altimétrique le long d’une courbe.
