Map API with Building Elevation Data

Question

Hi!

I'm looking for a map API where I can get detailed elevation for points. I'm not looking elevation differences for certain paths along roads on the map but actual building heights. Getting the the 3d meshes for buildings would also be fine since I can compute the height myself using that information.

Does any of the map API's out there support giving out this kind of information?

EDIT:

Free API's are preferred but if that's not an option I'd like to hear about non free alternatives as well.

Answer 1

I highly doubt you can get that kind of data for free.

http://gisdata.usgs.net/XMLWebServices/TNM_Elevation_Service.php maybe this could be helpful
