      operationId: elevation
      summary: Get the elevation profile along a polyline or at a point.
      description: The Stadia elevation API allows you to get the elevation of any point on earth. You can pass either a simple set of points or a Google encoded polyline string. This pairs well with our routing APIs, so you can generate an elevation profile for your next bike or run.

        range_height:
          type: array
          description: The list of ranges and heights for each point in the shape, where each entry is an array of length 2. Present only if `range` is `true`. In each pair, the first element represents the range or distance along the input locations. It is the cumulative distance along the previous coordinates in the shape up to the current coordinate. This value for the first coordinate in the shape will always be 0. The second element in the pair represents the height or elevation at the associated coordinate. The height is null if no height data exists for a given location. Both values are expressed in meters.
