]

Array of (longitude, latitude) pairs in the WGS84 spatial reference. Maximum size of 100 coordinates.

The order of each pair must be::

• longitude in the range -179.99 to 179.99 representing the east/west or x-axis
• latitude in the range -85.05 to 85.05 representing the north/south or y-axis

For example: [[31.134167, 29.979167], [31.130833, 29.976111], [31.128333, 29.9725]]

}

A structure containing a collection of points which contain elevation values (defined as Z). When returned from a request to the /elevation/at-many-points endpoint, the order of the points will match the order of the points in the request.

Properties

RelativeToProperty

1
"meanSeaLevel"

The reference position (datum) from which to measure elevation.

The valid values are:

• meanSeaLevel: The elevation above or below the WGS84 geoid reference surface, which is approximately the mean sea level. It takes into account the local variations in gravity and provides a consistent vertical reference.
• ellipsoid: Ellipsoidal height is measured with respect to an ellipsoid, which is a mathematical model that approximates the shape of the Earth. It does not consider local variations in gravity and is commonly used in GPS positioning.

TokenProperty

1
"MyToken"

The authentication token, used to access the elevation service.

The token parameter can be either an API Key or short-lived token.

This parameter is required unless you supply an access token in the request header with one of the following keys using the "Bearer" scheme:

• Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN>
• X-Esri-Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN>

The provided token must be created from an ArcGIS Location Platform account and have the necessary premium:user:elevation privilege to use the elevation service.
