705 endpoints powered by Swiss Ephemeris (WASM), covering techniques no competitor offers: harmonics, draconic charts, CCG, Gauquelin sectors, full Human Design, rectification.

Who it’s for

1. Astrology app developers (web, mobile) who need precise and diverse calculations without maintaining their own computational infrastructure.
2. AI companies embedding astrology features — native MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT and other agents.
3. Professional astrologers building custom tools or client scripts.
4. Researchers who need programmatic access to calculations for statistical studies.
5. Content platforms adding astrology features on top of an existing product.

Who it’s not for

• Widget horoscopes (“Cancer today”) without backend control — AI interpretations and horoscopes exist (/interpret/*, /horoscope/*), but they’re designed as APIs for developers, not drop-in widgets.
• Vedic astrology as main specialty — for Vedic-first projects (Dasha systems, Panchang, KP) Prokerala and VedicAstroAPI are stronger. For Western astrology + Human Design + rare techniques (rectification, harmonics, CCG), AstroWay beats them. See /en/compare/.
• Tarot / numerology — only astrology and Human Design. I-Ching is a bonus endpoint.

What makes AstroWay unique

1. Rare techniques in API form

Technique	Why it matters
Harmonic charts (H2–H180)	Research astrology (John Addey method)
Draconic chart	Karmic / soul astrology
CCG (Cyclo-Carto-Graphy)	Progressed astrocartography — Jim Lewis premium technique
Gauquelin sectors	Statistical astrology, academic use
Tertiary progressions	Third type of progressions — niche but valued
Antiscia / contra-antiscia	Classical Hellenistic technique — traditional revival
Parallel aspects	Declination-based aspects — advanced practices
Rectification via API	Birth time correction — extremely high value
Planetary cycles (conjunctions)	Mundane astrology — world events
Barbault cyclic index	Mundane astrology
Algol minimum	Fixed star times — electional astrology
Local space lines	Feng shui-like directional astrology
Disposition chains	Rulership graphs — classical technique
Almuten figuris	Medieval technique — traditional revival

2. Swiss Ephemeris precision — same engine as Solar Fire ($495), Kepler ($995), Astro Gold

The same Swiss Ephemeris (LGPL) that has powered professional astrologers in Solar Fire, Kepler, Astro Gold and Janus for 30+ years — only as a WASM build and a REST API, with no middleman markup. Precision:

• Planet positions: ±1 arcsecond vs NASA JPL ephemeris
• House cusps: ±1 arcminute
• Validated against Zet 9, Solar Fire (proprietary ephemeris), Astrodienst swetest CGI (Astro.com), Kepler, Astro Gold — discrepancies within method tolerance (≤0.1″).

3. 705 endpoints — deep coverage of Western techniques

172 compute endpoints for Western astrology (4 Hellenistic schools, modern psychological, evolutionary, cosmobiology) + AI interpretations + full Human Design. Depth instead of spreading thin across dozens of directions.

Calculation and JSON response

• Calculations happen server-side — no WASM blobs on your frontend, no Swiss Ephemeris licensing concerns for you.
• No server-side state — each request is self-contained. No client data leakage.
• API keys are bound to plan, rate limit, and daily credit balance. Monitoring via dashboard.
