Metres above sea level for any coordinate on earth — the third dimension, from the same open models as the weather.

| `latitude` | number | required | Decimal degrees. |
| `longitude` | number | required | Decimal degrees. |
| `max_age` | integer (seconds) | optional | Ask for data no older than this. Clamped to the product's own floor, so it can narrow the window but never force a refresh on every call. |
