Looks like its is possible to download the full SRTM dataset - would that not work ?

Also I know Geonames has a service for elevation lookup based on SRTM & other data: http://www.geonames.org/export/web-services.html

But if you need to semple a big are in detail, that could potentially run into API limits or overload the service. But it demonstrates its possible to get the dataset & provide an API on top of it by a third party. :)
