{"info":{"name":"API for Astrology: Astrology API","description":"The Astrology API computes Vedic astrology over HTTPS: birth charts, divisional charts, dashas, panchang, muhurat, transits, kundli matching and written readings. You send birth details as JSON and get JSON back.\n\n**Base URL:** `https://apiforastrology.com/api/astrology`. Every path in this reference starts with `/v1`.\n\n**Authentication:** send your API key in the `Authorization: Bearer ` header or the `X-API-Key: ` header. Create and revoke keys on the [API keys page](https://apiforastrology.com/account/keys) of your account. Keep the key on your server; do not put it in a web page or app.\n\n**Limits:** every plan can call every endpoint: calls for calculations, reading credits for written readings. Each live key has a per-minute rate limit, all your live keys share the monthly calls, and written readings use the monthly reading credits ([pricing](https://apiforastrology.com/pricing)). Test keys are never billed and have their own free allowance: 10 calls a minute per key and 1,000 calls a month for all of them. They return full readings only for the sample charts (John Doe, New York; Jane Doe, Chicago). Responses carry `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining` and `X-RateLimit-Reset` for the key's per-minute limit, and `X-Calls-Counted` and `X-Reading-Credits-Counted` say what a response used. Over a limit you get `429` with a `Retry-After` header and a code that names the limit.\n\n**Errors:** every error is JSON in the same shape: `{\"error\": {\"code\": \"...\", \"message\": \"...\", \"field\": \"...\"}}`. `field` is there when one input caused the error.\n\n**Birth details:** the local clock time at the place of birth, the latitude and longitude, and a time zone name such as `America/New_York`. The API applies daylight saving for that date. Dates from 1850 to 2149, the range covered by the NASA JPL planetary data the API uses.\n\n**Calls and reading credits:** Calls for calculations, reading credits for written readings. Each successful calculation uses 1 call from the monthly calls (live keys). Written readings use reading credits from the monthly allowance instead: `POST /v1/reading/section/{section_id}` 1 reading credit (3 for `forecast:year`), `POST /v1/summary` 2 reading credits, `POST /v1/karma` 2 reading credits, `POST /v1/spiritual` 2 reading credits, `POST /v1/forecast/{theme}` 3 reading credits, `POST /v1/reading/weekly` 3 reading credits, `POST /v1/varshaphal` 3 reading credits, `POST /v1/forecast/couple/{theme}` 6 reading credits, `POST /v1/report` 25 reading credits (40 with `topics=true`), `POST /v1/forecast/annual` 25 reading credits, `POST /v1/prashna` 5 reading credits and `POST /v1/prashna/kp` 5 reading credits. Credits are the same in every language, and for standard or longer text. Test keys use no credits: every successful test call counts as 1 on the test allowance, and readings work only for the sample charts (John Doe and Jane Doe). Errors and `GET /v1/health` are free. The `X-Calls-Counted` and `X-Reading-Credits-Counted` headers say what a response used. See [what counts](https://apiforastrology.com/pricing#what-counts).\n\nSet the apiKey variable to your API key before sending a request.

The moment is found to the second, in the sidereal zodiac. It falls within a day or so of the birthday and drifts later over a lifetime. So it is never assumed to be the birthday. Tajik is the Indian method for yearly charts, which came from Persian astrology.\n\n**Returned:**\n\n- the varsha pravesh in UTC and local time;\n- the annual chart (ascendant and the nine planets with their houses);\n- **muntha**, the natal ascendant moved on one sign per completed year, and its house in the annual chart;\n- the **five office-bearers** (panchadhikari), the candidates for the year lord;\n- nine **sahams** (sensitive points). Each is A - B + C of three positions, reversed by night where the texts say so. There are also four `disputed_sahams` that published programs compute differently, given both ways with `sources_agree`. In `convention_a`, A and B never swap by night. In `convention_b`, they swap by night for paradara, vivaha and vanik, and roga adds no 30 degrees when C sits on an end;\n- **mudda dasha**, Vimshottari squeezed into one year. Published software disagrees on it, so it comes in **two conventions**. `mudda_dasha` divides 365 days from the varsha pravesh. `mudda_dasha_solar` divides the Sun's year with the birth balance carried in, so it starts before the varsha pravesh. `mudda_conventions` says which is which;\n- `masa_pravesh`: the twelve **monthly returns**, each the moment the Sun has moved on another 30 degrees, with its lagna. Month 1 is the varsha pravesh. Daily returns are at `/v1/varshaphal/dina`;\n- `tri_pataki`: the **tri-pataki chakra** (three-flag chart). Each natal sign moves on by the running year; the result says which grahas pierce (vedha) the Moon and the lagna. The Moon is the main target and the lagna a second one some astrologers add; the Moon casts no vedha, and a graha on a target's own point is vedha on it. Two divisions of the years circulate and differ on Mars, so both are in `methods`, with `sources_agree` and `differ_on` for the year. No verdict is drawn from it.\n\n**Place.** The chart is cast for the birth place unless `latitude`, `longitude` and `timezone` give the place the person lives now; traditions differ on which, and `place.basis` says which was used.\n\n**Strengths and the year lord.** `strengths` gives pancha-vargeeya bala (five divisions scored by Tajik friendship) and harsha bala (four conditions). Both were checked against another program's results over five years. `year_lord` (the varsheshwar) is the strongest office-bearer that aspects the annual lagna, is not the Moon and holds at least 5 of 20 vishwa (a strength score out of 20). If none is left, the muntha lord is the year lord; if that is the Moon, the annual lagna lord; if that is the Moon too, the birth lagna lord. If all three are the Moon, `graha` is null and `disputed` says why. `basis` says which way it was found, `filters` lists the order the rules apply in, and `ranked` gives every office-bearer with the rule that `excluded` it.\n\n`tajaka_yogas` lists the Tajik yogas (planet pairings) the year forms. Sixteen are checked: ithasala, ishrafa, nakta, yamaya, manau, kamboola, khallasara, radda, duhphali-kuttha, ikkavala, induvara, kuttha, durapha, gairi-kamboola, tambira and dutthottha-davira. For each you get the planets, the aspect and the orb (the allowed gap in degrees: the mean of the pair's deeptamsha). You also get how far the pair is from exact, and whether the two are moving closer (applying) or apart (separating). `tajaka_yogas.not_computed` lists any yoga left out; today it is empty.\n\n**Not yet computed**, and named in `not_computed`: the sahams that need house cusps. See rulebook section VP.\n\n**Uses 3 reading credits.** On live keys a successful response uses them from your monthly reading credits, and no calls. Test keys return this reading for the sample charts only, and it counts as 1 test call. The `X-Reading-Credits-Counted` header says what a response used.

Tajik is the Indian method for yearly charts, which came from Persian astrology.\n\n**Returned:**\n\n- the varsha pravesh in UTC and local time;\n- the annual chart (ascendant and the nine planets with their houses);\n- **muntha**, the natal ascendant moved on one sign per completed year, and its house in the annual chart;\n- the **five office-bearers** (panchadhikari), the candidates for the year lord;\n- nine **sahams** (sensitive points). Each is A - B + C of three positions, reversed by night where the texts say so. There are also four `disputed_sahams` that published programs compute differently, given both ways with `sources_agree`. In `convention_a`, A and B never swap by night. In `convention_b`, they swap by night for paradara, vivaha and vanik, and roga adds no 30 degrees when C sits on an end;\n- **mudda dasha**, Vimshottari squeezed into one year. Published software disagrees on it, so it comes in **two conventions**. `mudda_dasha` divides 365 days from the varsha pravesh. `mudda_dasha_solar` divides the Sun's year with the birth balance carried in, so it starts before the varsha pravesh. `mudda_conventions` says which is which;\n- `masa_pravesh`: the twelve **monthly returns**, each the moment the Sun has moved on another 30 degrees, with its lagna. Month 1 is the varsha pravesh. Daily returns are at `/v1/varshaphal/dina`;\n- `tri_pataki`: the **tri-pataki chakra** (three-flag chart). Each natal sign moves on by the running year; the result says which grahas pierce (vedha) the Moon and the lagna. The Moon is the main target and the lagna a second one some astrologers add; the Moon casts no vedha, and a graha on a target's own point is vedha on it. Two divisions of the years circulate and differ on Mars, so both are in `methods`, with `sources_agree` and `differ_on` for the year. No verdict is drawn from it.\n\n**Place.** The chart is cast for the birth place unless `latitude`, `longitude` and `timezone` give the place the person lives now; traditions differ on which, and `place.basis` says which was used.\n\n**Strengths and the year lord.** `strengths` gives pancha-vargeeya bala (five divisions scored by Tajik friendship) and harsha bala (four conditions). Both were checked against another program's results over five years. `year_lord` (the varsheshwar) is the strongest office-bearer that aspects the annual lagna, is not the Moon and holds at least 5 of 20 vishwa (a strength score out of 20). If none is left, the muntha lord is the year lord; if that is the Moon, the annual lagna lord; if that is the Moon too, the birth lagna lord. If all three are the Moon, `graha` is null and `disputed` says why. `basis` says which way it was found, `filters` lists the order the rules apply in, and `ranked` gives every office-bearer with the rule that `excluded` it.\n\n`tajaka_yogas` lists the Tajik yogas (planet pairings) the year forms. Sixteen are checked: ithasala, ishrafa, nakta, yamaya, manau, kamboola, khallasara, radda, duhphali-kuttha, ikkavala, induvara, kuttha, durapha, gairi-kamboola, tambira and dutthottha-davira. For each you get the planets, the aspect and the orb (the allowed gap in degrees: the mean of the pair's deeptamsha). You also get how far the pair is from exact, and whether the two are moving closer (applying) or apart (separating). `tajaka_yogas.not_computed` lists any yoga left out; today it is empty.\n\n**Not yet computed**, and named in `not_computed`: the sahams that need house cusps. See rulebook section VP.\n\n**Uses 3 reading credits.** On live keys a successful response uses them from your monthly reading credits, and no calls. Test keys return this reading for the sample charts only, and it counts as 1 test call. The `X-Reading-Credits-Counted` header says what a response used.

Jaimini is a second classical school of Vedic astrology. It uses the same planet positions as the main (Parashari) school used in the rest of this API, but reads them differently. Signs aspect signs, instead of planets aspecting houses. Dashas (planetary periods) are counted in signs. The karakas (significator planets) are set by each planet's degree, not by the signs a planet rules. So they change with the birth time.\n\nThe response has the chara karakas and the arudha padas (A1 to A12: how each house appears to the outside world). It also has sign aspects, argala and chara dasha.\n\n**Sign aspects (rashi drishti) are not what `/v1/aspects` returns.** That endpoint gives planet aspects (graha drishti) counted in whole houses. Here, signs aspect other signs and no planet is involved. The twelve signs fall into three groups of four: movable, fixed and dual. Movable signs aspect the fixed signs except the one next to them. Fixed signs aspect the movable signs except the one just before them. Dual signs aspect the other dual signs. These aspects always work both ways.\n\n**Argala** is the influence on a sign from planets in the 2nd, 4th and 11th signs from it. Planets in the 12th block the 2nd, the 10th blocks the 4th, and the 3rd blocks the 11th. Some texts add a 5th and 9th pair; it is intentionally not included (rulebook JM-04, the API's rule reference).\n\n**Chara dasha** (a period system based on signs) exists in several versions that give different periods for the same chart.

Jaimini is a second classical school of Vedic astrology. It uses the same planet positions as the main (Parashari) school used in the rest of this API, but reads them differently. Signs aspect signs, instead of planets aspecting houses. Dashas (planetary periods) are counted in signs. The karakas (significator planets) are set by each planet's degree, not by the signs a planet rules. So they change with the birth time.\n\nThe response has the chara karakas and the arudha padas (A1 to A12: how each house appears to the outside world). It also has sign aspects, argala and chara dasha.\n\n**Sign aspects (rashi drishti) are not what `/v1/aspects` returns.** That endpoint gives planet aspects (graha drishti) counted in whole houses. Here, signs aspect other signs and no planet is involved. The twelve signs fall into three groups of four: movable, fixed and dual. Movable signs aspect the fixed signs except the one next to them. Fixed signs aspect the movable signs except the one just before them. Dual signs aspect the other dual signs. These aspects always work both ways.\n\n**Argala** is the influence on a sign from planets in the 2nd, 4th and 11th signs from it. Planets in the 12th block the 2nd, the 10th blocks the 4th, and the 3rd blocks the 11th. Some texts add a 5th and 9th pair; it is intentionally not included (rulebook JM-04, the API's rule reference).\n\n**Chara dasha** (a period system based on signs) exists in several versions that give different periods for the same chart.

Use it to see how much of what a placement promises a planet can actually deliver.\n\nThe rest of this API judges strength from **dignity** alone, which is one of six sources and the roughest. Shadbala is the traditional full measure. It combines six kinds of strength: positional, directional, time-based, motional, natural and aspectual. Results are in **virupas**; 60 virupas make one rupa.\n\n`ratio` is the planet's strength in rupas divided by the traditional minimum for that planet. **At 1.0 or above**, the planet is strong enough to deliver what its placement promises. Below 1.0, the placement still makes the same promise, but the planet may lack the strength to deliver it in full.\n\n**The six parts are reported separately on purpose.** A planet that is strong by position and weak by time reads differently from one that is middling on both. A single total hides that.\n\n**Built-in check:** natural strength (naisargika bala) is the same for every chart. The seven planets' values always add up to exactly **240 virupas**. The service checks this on every request, as ashtakavarga checks its 337 points.\n\n`not_computed` lists any part that could not be calculated, and why. Nothing is set to zero and then added in as if it were real.\n\nShadbala is where published software most often differs. Here, directional strength (dig bala) is measured from the planet's exact **degree** to the **real angles** of the sky: the ascendant, the descendant, the midheaven (MC, the degree overhead) and the point opposite it.

Use it to see how much of what a placement promises a planet can actually deliver.\n\nThe rest of this API judges strength from **dignity** alone, which is one of six sources and the roughest. Shadbala is the traditional full measure. It combines six kinds of strength: positional, directional, time-based, motional, natural and aspectual. Results are in **virupas**; 60 virupas make one rupa.\n\n`ratio` is the planet's strength in rupas divided by the traditional minimum for that planet. **At 1.0 or above**, the planet is strong enough to deliver what its placement promises. Below 1.0, the placement still makes the same promise, but the planet may lack the strength to deliver it in full.\n\n**The six parts are reported separately on purpose.** A planet that is strong by position and weak by time reads differently from one that is middling on both. A single total hides that.\n\n**Built-in check:** natural strength (naisargika bala) is the same for every chart. The seven planets' values always add up to exactly **240 virupas**. The service checks this on every request, as ashtakavarga checks its 337 points.\n\n`not_computed` lists any part that could not be calculated, and why. Nothing is set to zero and then added in as if it were real.\n\nShadbala is where published software most often differs. Here, directional strength (dig bala) is measured from the planet's exact **degree** to the **real angles** of the sky: the ascendant, the descendant, the midheaven (MC, the degree overhead) and the point opposite it. Hora strength uses 60-minute hours from sunrise. When two planets are at war (within one degree), the winner gains strength and the loser loses the same amount, shown as `yuddha` with `yuddha_detail`.

Gajakesari excludes a debilitated, combust or node-conjunct Jupiter, a Moon at amavasya, or either planet in house 6, 8 or 12. **Parivartana** (two planets in each other's signs) comes back as one of three yogas, named by the two houses exchanged: `Maha Parivartana` (both good houses), `Khala Yoga` (house 3) or `Dainya Yoga` (house 6, 8 or 12). Harsha, Sarala and Vimala (the vipareeta raja yogas) now also need the trik lord free of any touch from a benefic or a kendra/trikona lord, and the lagna lord stronger in shadbala; without a stronger lagna lord the yoga does not form, read here as a crisis the native does not rise from rather than a weaker version of the yoga. See rulebook YG for each rule.\n\nAdd `?lang=hi` for Hindi, and `?detail=expanded` for the longer readings.","body":{"mode":"raw","raw":"{\n \"year\": 1990,\n \"month\": 8,\n \"day\": 15,\n \"hour\": 10,\n \"minute\": 30,\n \"second\": 0,\n \"latitude\": 40.7128,\n \"longitude\": -74.006,\n \"timezone\": \"America/New_York\"\n}","options":{"raw":{"language":"json"}}}},"status":"OK","code":200,"_postman_previewlanguage":"json","header":[{"key":"Content-Type","value":"application/json"}],"body":"{\n \"formed\": [\n {\n \"name\": \"Sarala\",\n \"category\": \"vipareeta raja\",\n \"rule\": \"lord of house 8 placed in a dusthana (6,8,12);

A fast here is one simple meal on the planet's day (`fast: one_meal`); each entry has `day`, `foods` (what that meal can be) and `no_salt` (true where the fast is commonly kept without salt).\n\n**Every response carries `caution`**, in the reader's language and length: skip or soften the fast when pregnant, unwell, older or on medicine, and ask a doctor first. Show it with the list. See rulebook RM-10 to RM-12.\n\n**How a set is chosen.** Every remedy list picks its planets the same way, so the lists agree. `dasha_lord`: the planet whose mahadasha (main period) runs on `as_of`. `sub_period`: the planet whose antardasha (sub-period) runs on `as_of`, with `starts`, `ends` and the `next` sub-period. The first sub-period of a mahadasha is the same planet, so it is listed in `not_applicable` as `same_lord`. `lagna_lord`: the ruler of the rising sign, for life. `sade_sati`: Saturn, while a sade sati passage runs. `manglik` (Mars), `kaalsarpa` (Rahu and Ketu) and `pitra` (the Sun, with `tithi: Amavasya`, the new-moon day): only when `/v1/dosha/all` reports that dosha present. A set that does not apply is in `not_applicable` with why, and sade sati with the date it next starts.\n\nEach set has `entries`, one per planet.

Both are returned, so you can ignore an exception you do not accept.\n\n**Rajju, vedha and the Mars (mangal) comparison carry no points.** They are reported next to the score, not added to it. When both people are manglik, tradition holds that the two cancel out; the case tradition warns about is one manglik person and one who is not. Each person in `mangal` has a `grade`: `present` (found counting from the ascendant or the Moon, the main check), `partial` (found only from Venus, a milder sign) or `absent`. `mangal.balance` names the pairing. Only `present` beside `absent` (`one_sided`) is a concern; `present` beside `partial` is noted in the conclusion, not counted.\n\nThe response also has `dashakoot`, ten pass-or-fail checks (poruthams) used in South India. It also has `papasamyam`, which compares the two people's malefic planet counts (see `/v1/dosha/papa`).\n\nPass `as_of` with a proposed wedding date to add the dasha sandhi check. Dasha sandhi is the junction between two main planetary periods (mahadashas), traditionally avoided for weddings. Here it means the first or last sub-period of a main period. The check says whether either person is in one on that date.\n\nThe request names the two people `bride` and `groom` because the score is not symmetric: swapping them can change it.\n\nThe tables are in rulebook section **KM** (the API's rule reference), marked as school choices where the classical texts differ.","body":{"mode":"raw","raw":"{\n \"bride\": {\n \"year\": 1992,\n \"month\": 3,\n \"day\": 22,\n \"hour\": 14,\n \"minute\": 45,\n \"second\": 0,\n \"latitude\": 41.8781,\n \"longitude\": -87.6298,\n \"timezone\": \"America/Chicago\"\n },\n \"groom\": {\n \"year\": 1990,\n \"month\": 8,\n \"day\": 15,\n \"hour\": 10,\n \"minute\": 30,\n \"second\": 0,\n \"latitude\": 40.7128,\n \"longitude\": -74.006,\n \"timezone\": \"America/New_York\"\n }\n}","options":{"raw":{"language":"json"}}}},"status":"OK","code":200,"_postman_previewlanguage":"json","header":[{"key":"Content-Type","value":"application/json"}],"body":"{\n \"bride\": {\n \"nakshatra\": \"Vishakha\",\n \"nakshatra_lord\": \"Jupiter\",\n \"moon_sign\": \"Scorpio\"\n },\n \"groom\": {\n \"nakshatra\": \"Mrigashira\",\n \"nakshatra_lord\": \"Mars\",\n \"moon_sign\": \"Taurus\"\n },\n \"kootas\": {\n \"varna\": {\n \"points\": 0,\n \"max\": 1,\n \"bride\": \"Brahmin\",\n \"groom\": \"Vaishya\",\n \"rule\": \"the groom's varna equals or exceeds the bride's\",\n \"text\": [\n \"The bride's Moon is in Scorpio and the groom's is in Taurus.

It never says who took anything. The `missing-*` topics never say whether anyone is alive or dead.\n\n**Trisphuta** (every question topic, not `health` or `litigation`). `trisphuta` shows `gulika` and `mandi`, two points used to look for hidden obstacles, and `sum`: the longitude of the rising degree, the Moon and Gulika (`inputs`), reduced to 0 to 360, with its sign and `navamsa`. `status` is `negative_or_delayed`, `not_triggered` or `not_computed` (a polar day with no sunrise or sunset), `fired` says why, and `text` says it in words. **It never changes `verdict` or `answer`.** `differs_from_verdict` is true when it reads negative or delayed beside `looks_good` or `possible_with_effort`; show both. Its readings are listed in `provisional`.\n\n**The verdict is a stated rule.** For a question, `verdict.verdict` is `looks_good`, `possible_with_effort`, `delayed` or `highly_unlikely`, taken in that rule's precedence, with `case` (which condition fired), `decided_by`, the supports and strains, and the rule in `verdict.rule`. `findings` holds what it read: which lord is weak and why, the delays, malefic interference and benefic aspects. For `health` and `litigation` it is `favorable`, `mixed` or `unfavorable`. Nothing is weighted or scored. Parts that wait on the astrologer are listed in `provisional`, each with its rule id.\n\n**Timing is an estimate, never a date.** For a question, `timing` gives the degrees the faster lord still has to travel to the exact aspect, as `count` and `unit` (`days`, `weeks`, `months` or `years`, from the faster lord's sign), or `estimate: false` with `no_estimate_reason` (`highly_unlikely`, `separating`, `no_aspect`, `same_lord`). For a contest it is the old rising-sign pace (movable quick, fixed slow, dual in between).\n\n**Every text block has an `id`**, such as `prashna:marriage:verdict:favorable`. Each part of the payload that a block explains carries its `reading_id`.\n\n**What this does not claim.** It is not a yes-or-no answer, not a promise, and not medical, legal or financial advice. `not_claimed` says so in every response, and the reading says it in the reader's language. Methods not used are named in `refused`: KP horary numbers (1 to 249), ashtamangala and a Moon void of course, and a directional arudha. See rulebook section PQ (the API's rule reference).\n\n**Asking again.** An answered response carries `repeat_rule`: a working rule of one question per person and topic in 72 hours, counted from the last answered question. A refused question does not start it. The API stores nothing and takes no user id, so your app enforces it: save `asked_at` from each answer. A KP answer and a main answer on one topic count as one question, and that reading is provisional. Rulebook PQ-50, PQ-51.\n\n**Refusals.** Three kinds of request get `422` and no reading. (1) A topic id that names a refused kind of question (`lifespan`, `unborn-child-sex`, `lottery`, `gambling`, `share-tips`, `medical-diagnosis`, `crime-accusation`, `testing`): `error.code` is `topic_refused`, with `error.category` and the message in your `lang`; no chart is cast. (2) A moment unfit to judge: `error.code` is `moment_unfit`, `error.reasons` lists every cause (`lagna_too_early`, `lagna_too_late`, `moon_gandanta`, `lagna_gandanta`) and `error.measured` the rising sign and Moon degrees. The same moment always gives the same refusal. Ask again at another moment.

Parts that wait on the astrologer are listed in `provisional`, each with its rule id.\n\n**Timing is an estimate, never a date.** For a question, `timing` gives the degrees the faster lord still has to travel to the exact aspect, as `count` and `unit` (`days`, `weeks`, `months` or `years`, from the faster lord's sign), or `estimate: false` with `no_estimate_reason` (`highly_unlikely`, `separating`, `no_aspect`, `same_lord`). For a contest it is the old rising-sign pace (movable quick, fixed slow, dual in between).\n\n**Every text block has an `id`**, such as `prashna:marriage:verdict:favorable`. Each part of the payload that a block explains carries its `reading_id`.\n\n**What this does not claim.** It is not a yes-or-no answer, not a promise, and not medical, legal or financial advice. `not_claimed` says so in every response, and the reading says it in the reader's language. Methods not used are named in `refused`: KP horary numbers (1 to 249), ashtamangala and a Moon void of course, and a directional arudha. See rulebook section PQ (the API's rule reference).\n\n**Asking again.** An answered response carries `repeat_rule`: a working rule of one question per person and topic in 72 hours, counted from the last answered question. A refused question does not start it. The API stores nothing and takes no user id, so your app enforces it: save `asked_at` from each answer. A KP answer and a main answer on one topic count as one question, and that reading is provisional. Rulebook PQ-50, PQ-51.\n\n**Refusals.** Three kinds of request get `422` and no reading. (1) A topic id that names a refused kind of question (`lifespan`, `unborn-child-sex`, `lottery`, `gambling`, `share-tips`, `medical-diagnosis`, `crime-accusation`, `testing`): `error.code` is `topic_refused`, with `error.category` and the message in your `lang`; no chart is cast. (2) A moment unfit to judge: `error.code` is `moment_unfit`, `error.reasons` lists every cause (`lagna_too_early`, `lagna_too_late`, `moon_gandanta`, `lagna_gandanta`) and `error.measured` the rising sign and Moon degrees. The same moment always gives the same refusal. Ask again at another moment. (3) Any other invalid input: `invalid_input`.\n\n**Uses 5 reading credits.** On live keys a successful response uses them from your monthly reading credits, and no calls. Test keys return this reading for the sample charts only, and it counts as 1 test call. The `X-Reading-Credits-Counted` header says what a response used.

It is a separate method from `POST /v1/prashna` and it never changes that route's answers. No birth data is asked for.\n\n**The chart.** The number picks one of the 249 pieces of the zodiac, and that piece's first degree is the ascendant. The other 11 cusps come from it and your `latitude`. `chart.cusps` gives the sign, star and sub lord of all 12 cusps. A latitude beyond 66 degrees gets 422 `placidus_undefined`.\n\n**The answer.** `answer` comes first. `promise.status` is `promised`, `mixed`, `denied` or `not_shown`, from the sub lord of the topic's cusp and the houses it signifies through its star lord. `promise.other_cusp` is the second cusp for `education` and `travel`.\n\n**The moment.** `ruling_planets` are for the actual moment, not the number. Those still counting are in `direct_grahas`, and those set aside are in `discarded` with the reason. `confirmation.state` is `confirmed`, `not_confirmed` or `nothing_to_confirm`.\n\n**The date.** `timing.status` is `dated`, with `period` (dasha, bhukti and antara lords and their dates) and `transit`, or `no_date`, with `no_date_reason` (`promise_failed`, `no_ruling_planet`, `no_period` or `no_transit`). A date is an estimate.\n\n**Asking again.** An answered response carries `repeat_rule`: a working rule of one question per person and topic in 72 hours, counted from the last answered question.
