Lal Kitab analysis: Teva (graha placements with Pakka-ghar match), Kismat & Prosperity scores, detected Rins (ancestral debts) with triggers, suggested Upayas (remedies). Sidereal compute (Lahiri ayanamsa) with sign-from-Lagna house numbering per Lal Kitab convention.

Parameters

Query Parameters

retain_days

integer

default: 1 >= 1 <= 90

How many days the PDF stays at its url. 1 by default; up to 90 for a link you hand to a client. Delete it sooner with DELETE /v1/reports/files/{filename}.

format

string

default: pdf

Allowed values: pdf html markdown

Same switch as the format body field (send one or the other; two different values are a 400). pdf stores a PDF and answers with its url. html returns one self-contained text/html document (inline CSS and drawings, no scripts, no external fonts; the white-label logo stays a link to your https image). markdown returns text/markdown with the same headings, text and tables, drawings left out with a one-line note. Neither html nor markdown is stored, so retain_days does not apply. Same price in every format.

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

Header Parameters

Idempotency-Key

string

>= 1 characters <= 255 characters /^[\x21-\x7E]+$/

Unique per logical operation, kept across retries. For 24 hours from the first request, a repeat with the same key, method, path, body and query string returns the stored response with Idempotent-Replayed: true and costs 0 credits. The same key with a different body or query string is a 409 IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSED; a repeat while the first is still running is a 409 IDEMPOTENCY_IN_PROGRESS. Only 2xx responses are kept. See /idempotency/.

Example

01HXY2A7ZM0ABCDEF

Request Body^required

application/json

object

chart required

Birth data for a single natal chart. Required: date (YYYY-MM-DD), time (HH:mm:ss), latitude and longitude in decimal degrees. The short forms lat, lon, lng and tz are rejected with 400 INVALID_FIELD; pass the full names. timezoneOffset is hours from UTC and defaults to 0, meaning UTC; send timezone instead (an IANA name such as Europe/Kyiv, or auto) and the offset for that date is worked out, summer time included. city is a display label only: nothing here geocodes it, so it never stands in for coordinates. houseSystem is a single house-system letter, P by default; a name such as “Placidus” is refused, and the case matters because I and i are two different Sunshine systems.

object

date required

string

/^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$/

time required

string

/^\d{2}:\d{2}(:\d{2})?$/

timezoneOffset

Hours from UTC at the given moment, not minutes. Fractional zones are hours too: 5.5 for India, 5.75 for Nepal, -3.5 for Newfoundland. Defaults to 0, meaning UTC. Ignored when timezone is sent.

number

0 nullable >= -14 <= 14

timezone

IANA zone name such as Europe/Kyiv, or auto to look the zone up from latitude and longitude. The server takes the offset that zone kept at this local date and time, summer time included, and uses it in place of timezoneOffset. A clock time that happened twice takes the first occurrence; one skipped when clocks went forward takes the offset from before the change. Abbreviations such as EST are refused. Before 1970 the tz database is not reliable for every place, so send timezoneOffset when the local clock is known.

string

latitude required

number

>= -90 <= 90

longitude required

number

>= -180 <= 180

houseSystem

string

default: P

Allowed values: P K R C E W B M O A T V D F G H I i L N Q S U X Y

ayanamsaId

Any of:

format

pdf (default) stores a PDF and answers with its url. html returns one self-contained text/html document, markdown returns text/markdown with the same sections and tables; neither is stored. Same price in every format.
