What comes back

periods lists all sixteen in order. Each has its name (amrit, shubh, labh, char, rog, kaal, udveg), a quality (excellent, good, neutral, caution or avoid), day or night, and its start and end in the place's own zone. is_current and minutes_left mark the running period when the date is today, so a widget can highlight it.

The day runs from sunrise to sunset and the night from sunset to the next sunrise, each split into eight equal parts. That is why the periods are not 90 minutes long except near the equinoxes, and why the place matters.

Questions

Is there hora as well?

Yes: GET /v1/panchang/hora (1 credit) returns the 24 planetary hours.

Can I search for a good time for an activity?

GET /v1/muhurat/day (1 credit) judges one day for an activity, and GET /v1/muhurat/search (2 credits) looks across dates. See the panchang demo for the day itself.

Can I show it on my site without a server?

The panchang widget shows the day's tithi, nakshatra, sunrise and Rahu Kaal from one script tag and a publishable key. Choghadiya needs this call from your server.
