AstroAPI Alternative: Vedika vs AstroAPI.com

AstroAPI.com is a Western/tropical astrology API with around 50 endpoints covering natal charts, transits, aspects, and horoscopes. It does not support Vedic (sidereal) astrology at all -- no kundli, no dasha, no panchang, no doshas.

Vedika covers both Vedic and Western systems. If your project requires Vedic astrology, AstroAPI is not an option. If you only need Western, AstroAPI is a focused alternative worth considering.
