Gemstone Recommendation API
Gemstones by functional lordship: the lagna lord's, the 9th (or 5th) lord's, the mahadasha lord's, and those to avoid
POST/v1/kundli/gemstones
2 credits · Secret key (test or live) · getGemstones
Functional benefics are the lords of the 1st, 5th and 9th from the lagna; functional malefics the lords of the 6th, 8th and 12th with no trikona lordship, and their stones are listed in avoid. dasha_stone only when the running mahadasha lord is not a functional malefic. Not the same rule as classical.lucky.gem (the rashi lord's stone). Needs a birth time.
