Methodology and astrological context for Extended Planets.
Returns a rich, extended set of planetary position data for all nine Vedic grahas for a given date, time, and geographic location — providing a deeper and more attribute-complete planetary data set than the standard Planets endpoint, including additional classical Vedic attributes for each planet that support advanced chart analysis, interpretation, and report generation.
The Extended Planets endpoint builds on the standard Planets endpoint by returning a significantly expanded set of attributes for each of the nine grahas. In addition to the core positional data — sidereal sign, degree, house, Nakshatra, Pada, and retrograde status — it provides a range of additional classical Vedic attributes for each planet, such as dignity status (exaltation, debilitation, own sign, friendly/enemy sign), speed, declination, combustion status, and other planet-specific qualities used in advanced Vedic analysis.
This endpoint is designed for applications and practitioners who require the full depth of planetary data for each graha in a single request — whether for rendering a detailed planetary positions table with dignity and combustion indicators, performing Shadbala or other strength calculations that require speed and declination data, or generating comprehensive horoscope reports that include per-planet qualitative assessments.
Like the standard Planets endpoint, it is applicable to both natal chart computation (using a birth date and time) and to current or future planetary position lookups, making it versatile for birth chart analysis, transit tracking, and ephemeris features.
The API returns a structured JSON response including, for each of the nine grahas (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu):
X-Ayanamsha header allows selection of the sidereal calculation system (e.g., Lahiri, Raman, KP), ensuring all planetary positions and derived attributes are computed according to the practitioner's or platform's preferred Vedic tradition.Accept-Language header enables localized planet names, sign names, Nakshatra names, and dignity descriptions, making the API suitable for a global, multilingual user base.Payload specifications for JSON request body.
