Astrology API credit calculator
Each successful call costs the credits its operation lists, and each plan includes a number of credits a month. Enter the calls a day you expect for each kind of call below. The sum runs in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.
How the sum works
Calls a day × credits a call, added up, then × 30 for a month. The plan shown is the smallest whose monthly credits cover that. Prices are on pricing.
| Plan | Credits a month | Requests a second | Requests at once | When credits run out | Test calls a day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 3,000 | 2 | 2 | Calls stop with 429 quota_exhausted | 100 |
| Starter | 75,000 | 5 | 4 | Calls continue as overage | 100 |
| Growth | 4,00,000 | 20 | 8 | Calls continue as overage | 100 |
| Business | 15,00,000 | 50 | 16 | Calls continue as overage | 100 |
Ways to use fewer credits
- Cache what never changes. A birth chart, a dasha list or a match score for the same people is the same every time. Store it and call again only when the details change. See caching.
- Share what is the same for everyone. A sign's daily horoscope or a city's panchang is the same for every reader, so one call can serve them all.
- Ask for less. Use
POST /v1/dasha/vimshottari/current(2 credits) when you only show the running period, rather than the whole list. - Test with test keys. Test keys run the real engine and are never charged.
Questions
Which calls are charged?
Only successful (2xx) calls. Errors are free.
What if my app grows past the plan?
Plans that allow overage keep working and bill the extra; the Free plan stops with 429 quota_exhausted until the next month. The pricing page lists which plan does which.
Where is the full list of credits?
Each operation's page in the reference shows its credits, and each product page lists them by group.
