1. Who can use the service
The service is for businesses and developers who build it into their own products. It is not for personal, family or household use. You must be 18 or older. If you sign up for a company, you confirm that you can accept these terms for it.
2. Your account and API keys
- Keep your password and API keys safe and secret. Call the API from your server, never from a web page or a phone app.
- You are responsible for every request made with your keys and for the people you invite to your team. If a key leaks, revoke it in your account right away.
- Test keys are for building and testing. Live keys are for your product.
3. Acceptable use
You must not:
- use the service for anything illegal, to harass or deceive people, or where trade sanctions or export laws forbid it;
- present API output as medical, legal, financial or psychological advice, or use it to decide on anyone's job, loan, housing or insurance;
- share, sell or publish your API keys;
- get around a limit or the count of calls or reading credits, for example with several accounts or keys, forged requests or a bug;
- open more than one Free account, or sign up with false details;
- resell the raw API, copy the reading text in bulk, or use the API to build a competing astrology or numerology API;
- reverse engineer the service, scrape this website, or load-test or security-test the API without our written OK.
If you break these rules, we may act at once, as the Suspension section says.
4. What you may do with API output
We own the API, its software, its reading text and this website. While your account is active, you may show API output to your own users in your product. On a paid plan you do not need to credit us, except that on the Starter plan a public page with the daily sign horoscopes must link to us. On the Free plan, every page or screen of your product that shows API output to your users must show a visible "Powered by API for Astrology" link to https://apiforastrology.com. Test keys need no link.
You may not resell API output as your own data feed or API, or build a dataset or copy of our reading text. You may not copy this website's design, text or code. You may link to any of our pages.
5. Your users and their data
If you send personal data to the API, such as your users' names and birth details, you must have the right to do so. You are responsible for telling your users how their data is used, for any consent the law requires, and for your own product and what it shows them.
6. Astrology and numerology disclaimer
The Astrology API computes traditional Vedic astrology, following the rules in the rulebook. The Numerology API follows the rules on its conventions page. Their readings describe tendencies, not certainties. They are for information and entertainment only, and are not medical, legal, financial or psychological advice. Remedies such as gemstones, mantras and fasts are described as traditional practices; we make no claim that they work.
Results may contain errors, so check any result before you rely on it. You and your users make your own decisions, and we are not responsible for any decision made using API output. If you show readings to your users, tell them this too.
7. Plans, payment and cancellation
- Each plan's price and limits are on the pricing page. Over a limit, the API answers 429 until the limit resets. Unused calls and reading credits do not carry over.
- Pay as you go is optional. When you turn it on, extra reading credits are charged at the listed price, up to the monthly cap you set.
- Paid plans are paid in advance, renew automatically until you cancel, and do not include taxes. You can cancel at any time; your plan runs to the end of the period you paid for.
- If a renewal payment fails, your plan keeps working for up to 7 days while the payment is retried. After that, your company moves to the Free plan.
- We may change prices and plan limits. A change to your price or limits starts at your next billing period, and we email the account owner before it applies.
- All payments are final. The Refunds and Cancellation policy has the details.
8. The service and changes to it
We provide the service on a reasonable-efforts basis. We do not promise any level of uptime, speed or support reply time, and the service may sometimes be slow, unavailable or return errors.
We may add, change or remove features, and change or end the free plan. We try to announce changes that break existing calls in each API's changelog (astrology, numerology) before they happen.
9. Suspension and termination
You can stop using the service and close your account at any time.
We may suspend or close your account or any of its keys, at once and without notice, if we reasonably believe it breaks these terms, misuses calls or reading credits, does not pay, or puts the service or other customers at risk. Instead, we may lower its limits or cancel its unused calls and credits for the month. We may also close other accounts run by the same person or company.
The Free plan is for trying the API and for small projects. We may disable a Free account at any time and without notice if we find the API being misused, for example several Free accounts used together, a product without the required "Powered by" link, or traffic that looks automated or abusive. A disabled Free account gets no calls, reading credits or other compensation.
Suspending a paid account cancels its plan. We do not refund an account suspended or closed for misuse, and charges for earlier usage are still due. If we close an account for copying the reading text, you must delete the copied text.
We email the account owner after we act. If you think we made a mistake, reply to that email and we will review it.
After an account closes, we delete its data as the Privacy Policy describes.
10. No warranty and limit of liability
The service and all API output are provided "as is" and "as available", without any warranty. As far as the law allows, we do not promise that the service will be uninterrupted, fast, secure or free of errors, that data will never be lost, or that output will be accurate, complete or fit your purpose.
As far as the law allows, we are not liable to you or anyone else for any loss or damage that comes from using the service or API output, or from not being able to use them. This includes indirect and consequential losses, and lost profits, revenue, data or goodwill. It applies to every kind of claim. We are also not responsible for delays or failures caused by events outside our reasonable control, such as outages at our hosting or payment providers, internet failures or attacks.
Nothing in these terms limits anything the law does not allow us to limit.
11. Claims caused by your product
If someone makes a claim against us because of your product, your use of the service or API output, or your breaking these terms or the law, you will defend us and pay the costs, including reasonable legal fees.
12. General
- These terms, with the pages they link to, are the whole agreement between you and us about the service. If part of them cannot be enforced, the rest still applies.
- You may not transfer your account or these terms without our written OK. We may transfer them, for example if the service is sold.
- We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the last change, and we email account owners about important changes before they apply. If you keep using the service after that, the new terms apply.
