Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| date | Yes | Birth date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Date determines planetary positions and nakshatra calculations for Vedic kundli (janam patri). Accurate birth date is essential for dashas, yoga calculations, and divisional charts (vargas). | |
| lang | No | Response language (BCP 47). Supported: en, tr, de, es, hi, pt, fr, ru, zh-Hans, zh-Hant. Defaults to en. Coverage varies by domain, and a field with no translation in the requested language returns English. | en |
| time | Yes | Birth time in 24-hour HH:MM:SS format. Time is CRITICAL for Lagna (Ascendant) calculation and house divisions. It changes every two hours roughly. Even minutes matter for accurate nakshatra pada and divisional chart (D9, D10) calculations. Without exact time, Lagna and house-based predictions will be incorrect. | |
| compact | No | Set true for the same data in a compact shape: arrays of same-shaped objects arrive columnar as {"__cols":[names],"__rows":[[values]]}. Lossless, typically 40 to 52 percent fewer tokens. | |
| ayanamsa | No | Sidereal frame (ayanamsa) the chart is cast in. "lahiri" is Lahiri/Chitrapaksha, the traditional Vedic standard used by most software, and is the default. "raman" is the B.V. Raman ayanamsa from Hindu Predictive Astrology, about 1.45 degrees below Lahiri. "kp-newcomb" and "kp-old" are the two Krishnamurti Paddhati frames. "custom" takes your own value in degrees via ayanamsaValue, for reconciling exactly against a specific reference program. The frame rotates the whole zodiac, so a graha sitting within 1.45 degrees of a boundary can change rashi or nakshatra when you switch: pick the one your reference software uses and keep it. | lahiri |
| latitude | Yes | Birth location latitude in decimal degrees. Location determines local sidereal time for Lagna calculation and affects bhava (house) cusps. Example: Delhi 28.6139, Mumbai 19.0760, Kathmandu 27.7172. | |
| timezone | No | Timezone: IANA name (e.g. "America/New_York", "Europe/London") OR decimal hours from UTC (e.g. -5 for EST, 1 for CET). IANA strings are resolved to the DST-correct offset for the given date, so you can pass `cities[0].timezone` from /location/search directly. Defaults to 5.5. | |
| longitude | Yes | Birth location longitude in decimal degrees. Affects local time calculations and ayanamsha adjustments. Example: Delhi 77.2090, Mumbai 72.8777, Kathmandu 85.3240. | |
| ayanamsaValue | No | Custom ayanamsa value in degrees. When provided, overrides the computed ayanamsa from the selected type. Use for testing with specific ayanamsa values or matching a particular reference source. |
