ArcGIS Unity SDK find elevation above sea at coordinate

[ChristofferLindellBolin]

Hi, I have a question in regards to how I would be able to find the altitude above sea level at a certain coordinate with a longitude and latitude?

If you know you are looking at the point you can do a raycast.
If not you can query a service like this https://open-elevation.com/
We are also going to add an API for this soon

Hi Matt,

Is there any update on when this API might be available? Been interested in the Unity SDK and it seems like a pretty crucial feature for general use.

Is there any other way to query elevation at a point from ArcGIS elevation databases from Unity?

Thanks

@Matt_Nelson Are there still no updates? We really need this feature!

@JohannesMerkt Apologies for the delay in replying.

Which feature do you need? A service that can return an elevation value for a given x,y anywhere in the world? If so - good news - we have recently introduced the Elevation service (beta) | Esri Developer REST APIs documentation.

Any update on this? We also would like to be able to query for elevation at a specified point.

@FrancisPolignano Do you mean you want to do this via raycast to the elevation surface in the map or make a request to a web service? 

You can now do both: raycast is already supported, and we have recently introduced the Elevation service (beta) | Esri Developer REST APIs documentation.
