About OpenTopography
OpenTopography provides search and access to topographic data, including lidar point clouds, digital elevation models, digital terrain models, and bathymetry datasets. Coverage described includes parts of the United States, Europe, Central America, South America, New Zealand, and near-global models, with visualizations such as hillshade images, flow direction maps, and 3D point clouds.
Users can programmatically search, browse, and access raster DEM datasets through a SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC), and retrieve elevation for a location with a single web request through the Point Elevation API. The site also lists API key requests and an OT+ subscription for non-academics.
Key features
- Search and access lidar point cloud datasets
- Browse digital elevation models including global products like Copernicus DEM
- Access digital terrain models including South America and near-global coverage
- Retrieve elevation for a location via Point Elevation API web request
- View map visualizations such as hillshade, flow direction, 3D point clouds
- Access bathymetry lidar datasets for rivers and coastal areas
Best for: People who need lidar, elevation, and terrain data for research or mapping work.
Good for
- Adds new lidar and elevation datasets covering multiple U.S. states and other countries
- Includes global and country-scale DEM and DTM products such as Copernicus DEM
