What is the Vedika astrology API?

The Vedika astrology API is an Indic-native astrology API for developers. One authenticated base URL, https://api.vedika.io, returns structured chart data and natural-language readings across 1,128 API endpoints in 12 systems, including Vedic (sidereal), Western (tropical) and KP (Krishnamurti Paddhati) calculations.

Chart math is computed by Vedika Ephemeris, Vedika's own astronomical engine (Apache-2.0). Its agreement with NASA JPL DE440 is published body by body, with method and limits, on the ephemeris benchmarks page.

Call the astrology API in one request

Send the birth datetime, latitude, longitude and a UTC-offset timezone. Auth is a Bearer API key. The keyless sandbox mirrors the production routes if you want to try the response shape first.

curl -X POST https://api.vedika.io/v2/astrology/birth-chart \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer vk_live_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"datetime":"1995-08-20T09:15:00","latitude":19.076,"longitude":72.8777,"timezone":"+05:30"}'

For a reading in plain language, POST /api/v1/astrology/query takes a question and a birthDetails object. See the quickstart and the API reference.

Astrology API pricing and the 14-day trial

Self-serve plans are Starter $12/month, Professional $60/month, Business $120/month and Enterprise $240/month. Flagship is custom-priced by contract. AI answers are priced per query and vary with the request; each response reports the amount charged. There is no free production tier, and the sandbox is a mock. Accounts that have never paid can start one 14-day Professional trial. Terms are on the pricing page.

When Vedika fits, and when it may not

Vedika fits when your product needs a reading a person can read as well as chart data, when you need Vedic, Western and KP in one integration, or when you deliver in Indian languages. If you only need raw chart data in a single tradition, a single-tradition data API can also be enough.

Astrology API questions

What does the Vedika astrology API return?

It returns structured JSON for birth charts, divisional charts from D1 to D60, Vimshottari and other dasha systems, yoga and dosha detection, Ashtakavarga, panchang, muhurta and 36-point Guna Milan matching, and it answers free-text questions in natural language through POST /api/v1/astrology/query. Vedika exposes 1,128 API endpoints across 12 systems.

Which astrology systems does the API support?

Vedic (sidereal, Jyotish), Western (tropical) and KP (Krishnamurti Paddhati) calculations are available in one API. The same key also covers Vastu, Tarot, Chinese astrology, Numerology, Human Design, Lal Kitab, Jaimini and other domains.

How accurate are the calculations?

Chart math is computed by Vedika Ephemeris, Vedika's own astronomical engine (Apache-2.0). Its agreement with NASA JPL DE440 is published per body, with method and limits, at vedika.io/benchmarks. For the Sun through Pluto the mean error is under one arcsecond; the Moon is looser (mean 2.20 arcseconds, largest 11.52). The benchmark compares ecliptic longitudes only; it does not test houses, dashas or AI answers.

Can I try the astrology API before paying?

Yes. A keyless mock sandbox at vedika.io/sandbox mirrors production routes, so you can call it with no API key. There is no free production tier. Accounts that have never paid can start one 14-day Professional trial: you authorise the Professional auto-debit and receive $5 of credit that ends with the trial. Nothing is charged for the plan on day 0, and Professional ($60/month, plus GST in India) is charged on day 14 unless you cancel at least 48 hours before the trial ends.

How much does the Vedika astrology API cost?

Self-serve plans are Starter $12/month, Professional $60/month, Business $120/month and Enterprise $240/month; Flagship is custom-priced by contract. AI answers are priced per query and vary with the request, and every response reports the exact amount charged. Current limits are on vedika.io/pricing.

Can AI agents and apps call it directly?

Yes. There is an MCP server (npx @vedika-io/mcp-server), a JavaScript SDK (npm install @vedika-io/sdk), a Python SDK (pip install vedika-sdk) and a published React integration library. Auth is a Bearer API key sent on every request.

Which languages are supported?

Interpretation coverage spans 30 languages, including Indian languages. Availability varies by route, surface and contract, so confirm the language you need in the API reference.
