Unique capabilities

Endpoints no competitor ships:

• 10 dasha systems including rare Tribhagi, Shatabdika, Shodashottari, Sthira, Shoola (most APIs ship only Vimshottari)
• Karakamsa as 12-house chart: full projection with ishta-devata + moksha significations
• Argala-analysis: full Argala + Virodhargala scan across 12 houses with netInfluence metric
• Atmakaraka-rotation: progressive AK across lifetime with life-event triggers
• Cross-school doshas: Parashara + Lal Kitab + KP in one API (most ship a single school)

Who uses it

• Indian astrology apps (Pratyangira, Drik Panchang, AstroSage analogues) - full backend without rolling your own ephemeris
• Marriage matchmaking: Ashtakoot + Dashakoota + Manglik in one call
• Mobile horoscope apps: daily Panchang via /v1/vedic/panchang/full (8 elements in 1 request)
• Electional services (child naming, marriage muhurta): /v1/vedic/muhurat/* 12 event types
• Vedic compatibility services: full report via /v1/vedic/compatibility/full

Accuracy

All calculations run on Swiss Ephemeris (sub-arcsecond precision) + cross-checked against PyJHora (de-facto reference Python implementation). Divergences, where they exist, are documented in docs/AUDIT-TRAIL.md.

Schools with diverging traditions (Lal Kitab, KP, Jaimini) carry separate YELLOW markers on endpoints where the method is single-author (Lal Kitab - Pt. Roop Chand Joshi only) - integrators see the lineage status.

Localization

Vedic reports are available in 20 languages (T0 manual, T1 AI Beta - see /en/languages/). Pass lang=<code> to any /v1/reports/* endpoint.

Pricing

Vedic endpoints sit across three tiers: 10 credits (Lal Kitab, KP, most Jaimini), 20 (vargas, panchang elements) and 50 (Parashara doshas, dashas, shadbala, muhurat, full compatibility). PDF reports Lal Kitab / Vedic Kundli are 5000.

On the Free tier - 500 Vedic calls per month free.
