# Height and slope of a plot

`POST /api/v1/tools/elevation`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://verified.realestate`
- URL: `https://verified.realestate/api/v1/tools/elevation`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

INSTANT elevation above sea level, ground slope and slope direction (aspect) at a point. Pass lat/lng from the parcel lookup. Use for "how high is my land above sea level", "is the plot sloping and which way", "is it low-lying". The FULL terrain/soil/geology/rainfall report is the separate background terrain report; this is the quick free number. Free. PREFER THIS over the zone check whenever the question is only about height above sea level, slope, aspect or low-lying ground: the zone check bills credits, this does not. Free.
