Prasna Tantra indicators for one category (relationship, career, travel, lost-item, litigation, general; health is refused): the house of the question and its lord, the ascendant, the Lagna lord and the Moon, Tajika aspects, Ithasala, Easarapha and Kamboola between the Lagna lord, the significator and the Moon, and the category’s own stanzas. Each indicator has its rule, what the chart shows, whether it fired and its source; then an equal-weight tally, the II.5-8 success grade and the II.10-12 timing. No prediction text.

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

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

The Prashna chart input plus the category of the question.

object

date required

Date of the question, YYYY-MM-DD, local.

string

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

time required

Time of the question, HH:mm:ss, local.

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

ayanamsaId

number

nullable

ayanamsa

Sidereal school by name. Lahiri when omitted. Equivalent to ayanamsaId; send either.

string

Allowed values: fagan-bradley lahiri de-luce raman krishnamurti kp yukteshwar jn-bhasin true-citra djwhal-khul

arudhaSign

Arudha: the sign (1 Aries .. 12 Pisces) of the direction the querent faces or the square of the chakra the querent touches (Prasna Marga II.7-11). Omit it and the Udaya Lagna stands in for it (IX.30-31).

integer

>= 1 <= 12

number

A number 1-108 from the querent: its navamsa fixes the Arudha sign. Send arudhaSign or number, not both. KP’s 1-249 number is /v1/vedic/kp/horary.

integer

>= 1 <= 108

sphutaGulika

Which point enters Trisphuta. mandi (default): the Prasna Marga author takes Gulika by the Mandi ghatika method (translator’s note to V.14-16). gulika: the end of Saturn’s eighth part.

string

Allowed values: mandi gulika

category required

The subject of the question: relationship, career, travel, lost-item, litigation, general. It picks the house of the question and its lord (the significator). Health is not offered.

string

Allowed values: relationship career travel lost-item litigation general
