To get a single pixel value at a point in a raster using rasterio, there is an example here: https://github.com/mapbox/rasterio/pull/275

However, is there a direct API within rasterio (and not the cli) which can be used to extract value at a single point in a raster?

with rasterio.drivers():

    # Read raster bands directly to Numpy arrays.
    #
    with rasterio.open('C:\\Users\\rit\\38ERP.tif') as src:
        x = (src.bounds.left + src.bounds.right) / 2.0
        y = (src.bounds.bottom + src.bounds.top) / 2.0

        vals = src.sample((x, y))
        for val in vals:
            print list(val)
