Request body

  • birth Birth required
    • date string (date) required

      e.g. "1990-08-13"

    • time string

      pattern ^([01]\d|2[0-3]):[0-5]\d(:[0-5]\d)?$ · e.g. "06:30"

    • time_accuracy string

      With "unknown", lagna- and house-dependent fields are omitted and listed in warnings — never filled with a noon default.

      one of exact, approximate, unknown · default "exact"

    • place Coordinates or object or object required

      Coordinates, a place_id from /v1/places/search, or a free-text query. A vague query returns 422 place_ambiguous with candidates; the API never guesses.

      One of:

      1. Coordinates
        Fields
        • latitude number required

          ≥ -90 · ≤ 90

        • longitude number required

          ≥ -180 · ≤ 180

        No other fields are accepted.

      2. object
        Fields
        • place_id string required

        No other fields are accepted.

      3. object
        Fields
        • query string required

          at least 2 characters · at most 120 characters

        No other fields are accepted.

    • timezone string

      "auto" (from coordinates AND date), an IANA name, or a fixed offset like "+05:30".

      default "auto"

    No other fields are accepted.

  • activity string required
  • from string (date) required

    e.g. "1990-08-13"

  • to string (date) required

    e.g. "1990-08-13"

  • place Coordinates or object or object

    Coordinates, a place_id from /v1/places/search, or a free-text query. A vague query returns 422 place_ambiguous with candidates; the API never guesses.

    One of:

    1. Coordinates
      Fields
      • latitude number required

        ≥ -90 · ≤ 90

      • longitude number required

        ≥ -180 · ≤ 180

      No other fields are accepted.

    2. object
      Fields
      • place_id string required

      No other fields are accepted.

    3. object
      Fields
      • query string required

        at least 2 characters · at most 120 characters

      No other fields are accepted.

  • 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.

No other fields are accepted.
