python-geojson-elevation

GeoJSON proxy to popular elevation web services.

Currently only Google Elevation API is implemented.

New backends or improvements very welcome!

Tribute to Nodeshot and Leaflet.Elevation

This code was originally written for Nodeshot in order to add an elevation profile feature using the wonderful Leaflet.Elevation javascript plugin.

Later the code was refactored and extracted into this python package.
