• Production

Up to 40 rooms by direction from the centre of the house (or a bearing from true north), each judged ideal, acceptable, avoid or no-rule, with whether a verse or modern practice stands behind it. The 0-100 score is a published weighted mean; no classical text defines one. Room types with no citable rule (dining, balcony, garage, overhead tank) are refused rather than guessed.

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
