Hi,
I'm trying to get the elevation of a number of points from the
Elevation API.
Since I'm trying to get the elevation for about 200-300 points at one
time, doing a normal GET request seems silly, and becomes too long at
a certain point.
However, there are no POST examples on the website, and if I try to do
something like:
data = {'sensor': 'false', 'path': '40.714728,-73.998672|34,-118',
'samples': 2}
encoded = urllib.urlencode(data)
response = urllib.urlopen('http://maps.google.com/maps/api/elevation/
json', encoded)
print response.read()
I'm just getting a bad request response. If I do the same request,
but with a GET vs. a POST
response = urllib.urlopen('http://maps.google.com/maps/api/elevation/
json?%s' % encoded)
then it returns the json no problem...
Any trick to doing a POST to the service?
thanks for any reply,
w
