Methodology and astrological context for Horoscope Chart Image Extended.
The Horoscope Chart Image Extended API is the most comprehensive endpoint in the horoscope chart family. It combines the visual rendering capability of the Horoscope Chart Image endpoint with the enriched planetary data payload of the Horoscope Chart Extended endpoint — returning both a fully customisable rendered chart image and detailed astrological data for each planetary placement in a single response. It supports the same full range of divisional charts (Vargas) and special charts as the rest of the chart family.
This endpoint accepts a person's birth date, time, and geographic coordinates, a chartId path parameter specifying which chart to generate, and a comprehensive set of visual styling parameters. It computes the planetary positions, house placements, and extended astrological attributes for the requested chart type, then renders the chart as a styled image while simultaneously returning the rich structured data that underpins it.
The result is a single-call solution for applications that need to display a chart image alongside a detailed data breakdown — eliminating the need to call both the image endpoint and the extended data endpoint separately. The visual output is fully customisable: chart style (North, South, or East Indian layout), colours, line widths, chart size, font sizes, and symbol/text display preferences are all configurable via the request body.
The chart type is controlled by the chartId path parameter, supporting the full range of divisional charts from D1 through D150, as well as the Moon chart, Sun chart, and Chalit chart. The Ayanamsha system is configurable via the X-Ayanamsha header, and multi-language output is supported via the Accept-Language header.
The response combines the visual output of the image endpoint with the enriched data payload of the extended endpoint, which may include:
chartStyle parameterchartId path parameter, covering all major Varga divisional charts (D1 through D150), the Chalit chart, Moon chart, and Sun chartX-Ayanamsha header, supporting multiple Vedic traditions (e.g., Lahiri, Krishnamurti, Raman)Accept-Language header for localised planet, sign, and nakshatra labelsPayload specifications for JSON request body.
