Methodology and astrological context for Birth Details.
Computes the core Vedic astrological birth chart details for a person from their birth date, time, and geographic coordinates — returning the foundational planetary and house data that underpins all subsequent Vedic astrology calculations, interpretations, and report generation.
The Birth Details endpoint is the primary entry point for Vedic birth chart computation. Given a person's name, date and time of birth, timezone offset, and geographic coordinates, it calculates the complete set of fundamental astrological data points that define the native's Vedic birth chart (Janma Kundali).
This includes computing the precise sidereal positions of all planets using the selected ayanamsha, determining the Ascendant (Lagna) and all twelve house cusps, identifying the Nakshatra (lunar mansion), Pada, Rashi (Moon sign), and Tithi at the time of birth, and deriving the Vimshottari Dasha sequence from the Moon's Nakshatra position. The result is a comprehensive, structured birth chart data object that serves as the foundation for all further astrological analysis — from dosha detection and Ashtakavarga to compatibility matching and predictive timing.
The API returns a structured JSON response including:
X-Ayanamsha header allows selection of the sidereal calculation system (e.g., Lahiri, Raman, KP), ensuring the chart is computed according to the practitioner's or platform's preferred Vedic tradition.Accept-Language header enables localized planet names, sign names, Nakshatra names, and interpretive descriptions, making the API suitable for a global, multilingual user base.Payload specifications for JSON request body.
