A python package to fetch terrain.

Usage
Register API Key
Pyterrain doesn't offer terrain data by itself, it fetches data from another website. Before downloading data, you should sign up an API key from nextzen.org. The key's pattern is like Dto0r88DQuaQizoxcQSxxx
Fetch DEM by bound box
When API key is reday, you can download DEM data like this:
bbox = 108.444319, 20.161757, 111.318897, 18.05883 # Hainan province of China
terrain = Terrain("Dto0r88DQuaQizoxcQSxxx") # Pass API key
xs, ys, elevation = terrain.fetch(bbox=bbox, quiet=False, coord="lonlat", zoom=10)
If download is not completed because of connection, retry it.
