OpenTopoData Get Elevation

Get terrain elevation data for any location on Earth using the OpenTopoData API. Returns elevation in meters above sea level from multiple digital elevation model (DEM) datasets including SRTM 30m, ASTER, NED 10m (US only), EU-DEM, and others. Supports batch queries for multiple locations. No authentication required. Useful for geographic analysis, hiking planning, and terrain modeling.
