• Production

One animal against one day: the day pillar and the year pillar (from Li Chun), how their branches stand to the animal (same, secretFriend 六合, trine 三合, clash 六冲, harm 六害 or neutral), benMingNian when the year is the animal’s own, and energy, 1-10 from 5 with every step in factors: a stated heuristic (day: friend or trine +2, same +1, harm -2, clash -3; year: friend or trine +1, same or harm -1, clash -2), not a classical score. Computed, no model. Animal and element names follow ?lang=. Costs 1 unit of the public bucket.

Parameters

Query Parameters

animal required

string

Allowed values: rat ox tiger rabbit dragon snake horse goat monkey rooster dog pig

One of the twelve, English, any case.

date

string format: date

Calendar date YYYY-MM-DD (UTC). Defaults to today.

lang

string

Example

en

Language for this call, overriding Accept-Language. The canonical per-call form: a page that renders in one language passes it here rather than reconfiguring its client. Unknown or inactive codes fall back to uk.

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

Header Parameters

Accept-Language

string

BCP-47 language (e.g. uk, en, de). Set it once on your HTTP client as its default; for a single call, ?lang= overrides it. Unknown or inactive codes fall back to uk.
