    "spatialReference": {

    },
    "x": 86.925278,
    "y": 27.988333,
    "z": 8744
  }
}

A structure containing a point including an elevation value (defined as Z).

Properties

Name	Type	Required	Restrictions	Description
`point`	`Point`		none	The point containing the elevation.

ElevationInfo

Example
Use dark colors for code blocksCopy
{
  "relativeTo": "meanSeaLevel"
}

A structure containing human readable metadata about the specified point.

Properties

Name Type Required Restrictions Description

Name	Type	Required	Restrictions	Description
`relativeTo`	`string`		none	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.

Elevations

Example
Use dark colors for code blocksCopy
{
  "points": [
    {
      "spatialReference": {
        "wkid": 4326
      },
      "x": 86.925278,
      "y": 27.988333,
      "z": 8744
    }
  ]
}

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.

{
  "error": {
    "code": 400,

    "details": [
      "string"
    ],
    "restInfoUrl": "https://elevation-api.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/info"
  }
}

Properties

Name	Type	Restrictions	Description
`error`	`object`	none	Error information
`code`	`integer`	none	A code identifying the type of error, either an HTTP error code, `498` (signifying invalid or expired token), or `499` (signifying missing token).
`message`	`string`	none	A message describing the error.
`details`	`[string]`	none	List of details about the error.
`restInfoUrl`	`string`	none	URL that provides the elevation service information.
