  -H 'Authorization: Bearer al_test_YOUR_KEY'

Each limb comes with an id for your code and a label in your language, and the tithi and nakshatra with the moment they end. Send lang=hi for Hindi labels: सप्तमी, मृगशिरा, शुक्रवार.

The operations

• GET /v1/panchang (1 credit): the day's panchang for a date and place.
• GET /v1/panchang/choghadiya (1 credit): the eight day and eight night choghadiya.
• GET /v1/panchang/hora (1 credit): the 24 planetary hours of a day.
• GET /v1/muhurat/day (1 credit): one day judged for an activity, with the windows left after Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika.
• GET /v1/muhurat/{occasion}/year (2 credits): the dated muhurat list of a year for vivah, griha pravesh, vehicle or property.
• GET /v1/calendar/tithis (1 credit), GET /v1/calendar/ekadashi (1 credit) and GET /v1/calendar/festivals (2 credits): the calendar for a range or a year.

How it is calculated

• Sunrise is the upper limb of the Sun, with refraction, at the place you send. The vara and every daily period run from it.
• Months are amanta (new moon to new moon), with the purnimanta names alongside.
• Ayanamsa: Lahiri, for the nakshatra and yoga.

The full list, and what the panchang does not compute, is on conventions. The Hindi panchang post walks through one day.

Questions

Is there a free panchang API?

Yes. GET /v1/panchang (1 credit) is on the Free plan with every other operation. See the free astrology API.

Does the panchang API give South Indian (panchangam) data?

It gives the same five limbs, computed for the place you send, with South Indian matching in Dashakoot. Labels are in English or Hindi today.

Why does the panchang change with the place?

Sunrise, and so the vara, Rahu Kaal and every period of the day, depends on where you are. Send the place's coordinates or a place_id.
