Match Dashakoot Points API

The Match Dashakoot Points API is a Vedic astrology compatibility scoring endpoint that calculates the Dashakoot (also known as Ashtakoot) matching score between two individuals based on their birth details. It is a core component of traditional Hindu marriage compatibility analysis.

What This API Does

This API accepts the complete birth details of two individuals — a male and a female — including their date, time, and geographic coordinates of birth, and computes the Dashakoot compatibility score. Internally, it derives the natal Moon positions for both individuals using the specified Ayanamsha system and evaluates compatibility across the eight (or ten, in the Dashakoot system) classical Koot (attribute) categories defined in Vedic astrology.

What Data It Returns

The API returns a structured compatibility report that includes:

• Individual Koot scores — the points awarded for each of the Koot categories (such as Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot, and Nadi, among others depending on the system).

• Total compatibility score — the aggregate points out of the maximum possible score, indicating the overall compatibility level between the two individuals.

• Koot-level details — descriptive information for each category, including the matched values for both individuals and the resulting score.

Main Use Cases

• Marriage compatibility analysis — the primary use case; used by astrologers and matrimonial platforms to assess the suitability of a match between two prospective partners.

• Relationship counselling tools — integration into apps or platforms that provide Vedic astrology-based relationship insights.

• Astrology SaaS platforms — powering automated horoscope matching features for end users.

• Jyotish (Vedic astrology) software — backend computation for desktop or web-based astrology applications that need programmatic Dashakoot scoring.

Key Functionality

• Accepts precise birth data (day, month, year, hour, minute, second, latitude, longitude, and timezone offset) for both individuals independently, allowing accurate Moon sign and Nakshatra derivation.

• Supports configurable Ayanamsha systems (e.g., Lahiri, Raman, KP) via the X-Ayanamsha header, enabling compatibility with different schools of Vedic astrology.

• Supports multi-language responses via the Accept-Language header, making it suitable for localised applications.

• Computes results based on the classical Dashakoot framework, ensuring alignment with traditional Vedic matching methodology.
