Dashakoot Porutham API (South Indian)

The ten South Indian poruthams, from the Moon stars: each result, a score, and Rajju called out

POST/v1/match/dashakoot

1 credit · Secret key (test or live) · getDashakoot

person_a is the groom and person_b the bride: counts run from her star to his. Regional almanacs differ, so everything is labelled convention, and you set minimum_agreeing.

options Options
- ayanamsa string
  Each system is its Swiss Ephemeris definition (a constant offset from Lahiri). Applies to chart operations; KP operations always use KP-New and the personal muhurat stays Lahiri. meta.ayanamsa names the system used.
  one of lahiri, raman, krishnamurti, yukteshwar, fagan_bradley · default "lahiri"
- house_system string
  one of whole_sign · default "whole_sign"
- node string
  The Rahu/Ketu the chart uses: the true (osculating) node, as Swiss Ephemeris and Drik Panchang define it, or the mean node. meta.node names the one used. POST /v1/planets/positions always returns both.
  one of true, mean · default "true"
- lang string
  one of en, hi · default "en"
- view string
  compact drops labels and prose — for LLM callers.
  one of full, compact · default "full"
- tone string
  descriptive: the prose fields (tithi.note, tara descriptions, the timing summary and insights, natal-transit descriptions, transit-event notes) carry reviewed descriptive sentences, attributed to the tradition and with no instructions, in options.lang. Ids, scores and every other value are unchanged. Applies to getPanchang, getFavourableDays, getPersonalTiming, getDashaTransitConfluence, getNatalTransits and listPlanetaryEvents (and those inside a bundle); elsewhere it changes nothing.
  one of default, descriptive · default "default"
- dasha_year number
  Days in a Vimshottari year: 365.25 (Julian, the default), 365.2422 (tropical) or 360 (savana). Applies to /v1/dasha/vimshottari and /v1/dasha/vimshottari/current; data.basis.year_days names the one used.
  one of 365.25, 365.2422, 360 · default 365.25
No other fields are accepted.
minimum_agreeing integer
Sources name 5, 6 or 7. Rajju must agree as well.
≥ 1 · ≤ 10 · default 5

No other fields are accepted.
