Endpoint

Purpose

Returns a circular profile of angles to the horizon for a location at a given latitude, longitude point. The angles are calculated based on the surrounding terrain elevation from a 90m horizontal-resolution digital elevation model. The angle returned is relative to due north, with negative angles eastwards and positive values westward . Varies from -180 to 180. A value of -90 means east, 0 means north, and 90 means west.

GetHorizonAngle

Returns a circular profile of angles to the horizon for a location at a given latitude, longitude point. The angles are calculated based on the surrounding terrain elevation from a 90m horizontal-resolution digital elevation model. The angle returned is relative to due north, with negative angles eastwards and positive values westward . Varies from -180 to 180. A value of -90 means east, 0 means north, and 90 means west.

GET /data/geographic/horizon_angle

var response = await client.Data.Geographic.HorizonAngle.GetAsync(request =>

    request.QueryParameters.Latitude = latitude;
    request.QueryParameters.Longitude = longitude;
    request.QueryParameters.AzimuthIntervals = azimuthIntervals;
});

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
Latitude	number	Yes	The latitude of the location you request data for. Must be a decimal number between -90 and 90.
Longitude	number	Yes	The longitude of the location you request data for. Must be a decimal number between -180 and 180.
AzimuthIntervals	integer	Yes	Number of sections to divide the azimuth circle into, governing how many items are returned in the response. E.g. 10 = [-180°, -144°, -108°, -72°, -36°, 0°, 36°, 72°, 108°, 144°] Maximum 360
Format	Format	No	Response format. Default is HTML if not supplied.

Returns HorizonAngleResponse

Field	Description
horizon_angles	Horizon angle measurements around the requested location.
response_status	Error details returned when the request fails; omitted on success.
