# Modalities

`GET https://api.astroway.info/v1/reference/modalities`

Reference list of cardinal / fixed / mutable modalities with associated signs, behavioural keyword, best uses, and shadow side.

Group: Reference. Auth: none, this endpoint answers without a key. Operation ID: `reference_modalities_get`.

## Parameters

| Name | In | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `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

| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 200 | Successful calculation |
| 400 | Validation error |
| 401 | Missing or invalid API key |

### Success fields, under `data`

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `items` | object[] | no |  |
| `count` | number | no |  |

## Example

```bash
curl -X GET https://api.astroway.info/v1/reference/modalities \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"
```
