Questions
FAQ
How do I use the Open-Meteo Elevation API?
Send a POST request to https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/open-meteo/elevation with your SandBase API key in the Authorization header (Bearer) and the parameters as a JSON body. You can also try it in the Playground on this page without writing code.
How much does the Open-Meteo Elevation API cost?
$0.0001 per call. Every organization gets 100 free calls per UTC day, shared across eligible SandBase APIs including this one; after that each call is billed at this price from your SandBase balance. There is no subscription.
What parameters does the Open-Meteo Elevation API accept?
Required: latitude (string) and longitude (string). The Parameters table and the Playground on this page list every field.
What does the Open-Meteo Elevation API return?
A JSON response returned in the same HTTP request (synchronous).
Do I need a Open-Meteo developer account or API key?
No. Open-Meteo Elevation runs through SandBase, so one SandBase API key covers this endpoint and every other API and model in the catalog. You do not need to apply for Open-Meteo API access separately.
