• Production

A stem read against each branch as a life cycle, from Chang Sheng through Di Wang to Jue. The day master through the chart; pass includeFullTable for the ten-by-twelve reference table. stageSchool picks the classical yin-reverse rule or the unified one.

Parameters

Query Parameters

fields

string

Comma-separated dotted paths, relative to data, to keep in the response. A path is applied to every element of an array, so planets.name means the name of each planet. Paths that match nothing come back in _fields_unmatched; a list where nothing matches at all is a 400, because an empty object would be a confident wrong answer.

Example

planets.name,planets.longitude

precision

integer

<= 15

Round every non-integer number in the response to this many decimal places. Integers are left alone, because an id is not a measurement. Ecliptic longitudes ship with fourteen decimals by default; 2 is about a tenth of an arcminute.

Example

4

Request Body ^required

Media type application/json

object

date required

string

/^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$/

time

string

/^\d{2}:\d{2}(:\d{2})?$/

timezoneOffset

Ignored when timezone is sent.

number

>= -14 <= 14

timezone

IANA zone name such as Europe/Kyiv, or auto to look the zone up from latitude and longitude. The server takes the offset that zone kept at this local date and time, summer time included, and uses it in place of timezoneOffset. A clock time that happened twice takes the first occurrence; one skipped when clocks went forward takes the offset from before the change. Abbreviations such as EST are refused. Before 1970 the tz database is not reliable for every place, so send timezoneOffset when the local clock is known.
