Basic Gemstone Suggestions API

Basic Gemstone Suggestions

The Basic Gemstone Suggestions API provides Vedic astrology-based gemstone recommendations derived from a person's birth details. By analysing the planetary positions in the natal chart computed from the given date, time, and geographic location of birth, the API identifies which gemstones are astrologically beneficial for the individual and returns a structured set of suggestions.

What This API Does

This endpoint accepts a birth date, time, timezone, and geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude), computes the individual's Vedic natal chart using the specified Ayanamsha system, and analyses the planetary strengths, weaknesses, and lordships within that chart. Based on this analysis, it determines which planets require strengthening or balancing and maps them to their corresponding gemstones according to classical Vedic gemology (Ratna Shastra). The result is a set of gemstone recommendations tailored to the individual's birth chart.

What Data It Returns

The response delivers a structured set of gemstone suggestions, typically including:

• Recommended Gemstones — The primary gemstones advised for the individual, each linked to a specific planet in the natal chart

• Planet Association — The ruling planet for each recommended gemstone, indicating which planetary energy the gemstone is intended to strengthen or harmonise

• Gemstone Details — Information about each suggested gemstone, such as its name, the planet it governs, and its astrological significance

• Substitute Gemstones — Alternative or substitute gemstones (uparatnas) that can be used in place of the primary gemstone, offering more accessible options

• Wearing Guidance — Basic guidance on how and when to wear each gemstone, such as the recommended finger, metal, and day of the week aligned with the ruling planet
