GAP · What the API does not compute
GAP-05: Yogas the API does not check
The API checks 97 named yogas. Classical texts describe many more yogas. The API does not look for them, so it never returns them.
Endpoints that apply this rule
Each call returns the rule it used, so you can match a result to GAP-05.
| POST | /v1/aspects | Planet aspects (graha drishti) |
| POST | /v1/yogas | Yogas: planetary combinations found and not found |
| POST | /v1/planets | Planet positions and the ascendant |

}The rule in John Doe's chart
How it works
Ask for John Doe's aspects and you get whole houses, such as Mars in house 8 looking at houses 11, 2 and 3. There is no degree-based strength. The API checks 97 named yogas and no more.
