# Main door pada and its result

`POST https://api.astroway.info/v1/vastu/entrance`

Which of the 32 outer padas a main door sits in, its deity in both schools, and the result Brihat Samhita 53.72-75 gives for a door there. Send the pada (N3) or the wall and the door centre as a fraction of it; two ways of fitting 8 doors onto a 9-cell wall are offered, and a door near a pada edge is flagged.

Group: Vastu Shastra. Auth: `X-Api-Key` header. Operation ID: `vastu_entrance`.

## 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. |

## Request body
