# Tarot card texts (public, no key)

`GET https://api.astroway.info/v1/public/tarot/texts`

Long-form readings for the 78 Rider-Waite-Smith cards: a three-paragraph `description` (the imagery, the upright meaning, the reversed meaning), and for `upright` and `reversed` one text each on `love`, `career`, `finance`, `health` and `spirit`, plus `name` and up to five `keywords` per side. `cards` is a comma-separated list of slugs (as in GET /public/tarot/decks); omit it for all 78; an unknown slug is a 400 `INVALID_CARD`. Our own prose. A language without its table yet answers English text with `textLocalized: false`; names and keywords are localised either way. Static data, `Cache-Control: public, max-age=604800`.

Group: Public. Auth: none, this endpoint answers without a key.

## Parameters

| Name | In | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `cards` | query | no | string |  |
| `lang` | query | no | string | 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`. |
| `Accept-Language` | header | no | 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`. |
| `fields` | query | no | 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. |
| `precision` | query | no | integer | 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. |

## Responses
