How to get elevation for multiple lat longs?
The USGS-National Map has a REST service that you can use to query elevation for lat/lon coords. You can use pythons requests library and format your query string according to the service parameters. You need your input coordinates in NAD83 (lat/lon).
How to use Google Earth API in Python?
In this tutorial, an introduction to the Google Earth Engine Python API is presented. After some setup and some exploration of the Earth Engine Data Catalog, we’ll see how to handle geospatial datasets with pandas and make some plots with matplotlib. First, we’ll see how to get the timeseries of a variable for a region of interest.

How to get elevation information from Google Earth?
An alternative approach – as you do not state which GIS system you want to use to extract elevations, nor indicate where in the world you want to extract such information – is to use the Google Elevation API. With so few points you would fall well within their fair usage policy.
How to get elevation of a coordinate in Python?
I don’t mind making a REST API request, parsing some JSON, or in some other way more complex programmatically. The example above uses the SRTM digital elevation model (DEM), but there are others available depending on your area of interest and resolution requirements.
How to convert dem to elevation in Google Earth?
If number of DEM is more than one then convert them to VRT. Load the shapefile and the VRT/DEM and run point sempling tool, select the columns you want in result along with elevation value and save it. You are done.
How to get SRTM data in a coordinate system?
Note the example is simple as SRTM data is available in a geographic coordinate system, there are a few more steps if your DEM is in a different projection. Thanks for contributing an answer to Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange!
How to get elevation at a particular coordinate?

Where can I find the elevation above sea level?
EarthTools has a webservice that covers the US and Europe using the SRTM data. Given a latitude/longitude it returns the height above sea-level in feet and meters. (found from Quakr Viewr) Geonames offers two services using the SRTM data, and also the GTOPO30 from the USGS.
