Two questions: Elevation layer and production API

Question

Hello,

I have two questions:
1. Do you have elevation data layer to add to the map for e.g. mountains or anything really above sea level?

2. My prototype goes through three stages: dev-stage-lab. Do I need to purchase API key to move it to lab (currently it is our prod environment)? We are planning on going into production within the next two-three months. What are the quotes and rules for free API vs paid one?

Thank you!

Hi @ElenaCourtney,

1. It depends what you want to achieve as your end result. You can check this ArcGIS Elevation service | Esri Developer REST APIs documentation | Esri Developer or this Elevation Layers - Overview

2. You can use a combination of OAUTH/API Keys and benefit from the usage of Python API.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Glen

In ArcGIS Online you have the Elevation Layers from the group that I shared.

In ArcGIS Location Platform you can use the Elevation Service.
