EMODnet Bathymetry provides a rest service to retrieve depth samples. Currently, two operations are availble to query the EMODnet DTM for depth samples:
This method returns the attributes of a single DTM grid cell for a single coordinate. Input parameter geom is a WKT Point geometry in geographic coordinates.

This method returns a intersection of the DTM along the requested LineString. Input parameter geom is a LineString WKT geometry in geographic coordinates
