Free Astrology API 2025: Start Building with 10 Free Queries

What's Included in the Free Tier?

Quick Code Example

Here's how to make your first free API call:

// Node.js / JavaScript Example
const response = await fetch('https://vedika.io/api/v1/horoscope/daily', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_FREE_API_KEY',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    sign: 'aries',
    date: '2025-12-22'
  })
});

const horoscope = await response.json();
console.log(horoscope.prediction);

# Python Example
import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://vedika.io/api/v1/horoscope/daily',
    headers={
        'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_FREE_API_KEY'
    },
    json={
        'sign': 'aries',
        'date': '2025-12-22'
    }
)

horoscope = response.json()
print(horoscope['prediction'])

Real-World Use Cases for Free Astrology API

With 10 free queries per month, you can build and test various astrology features. Here are practical applications developers are building:

Best Practices for Using Free Tier

// Example caching with localStorage
const cacheKey = `horoscope_${sign}_${date}`;
const cached = localStorage.getItem(cacheKey);

if (cached) {
  return JSON.parse(cached);
}

const data = await fetchFromAPI();
localStorage.setItem(cacheKey, JSON.stringify(data));
return data;

// ❌ BAD: API key visible in browser
const API_KEY = 'vdk_live_abc123...';
fetch(url, { headers: { 'Authorization': API_KEY } });

// ✅ GOOD: Call from backend
// Backend (Node.js)
app.post('/api/horoscope', async (req, res) => {
  const data = await fetch(VEDIKA_URL, {
    headers: { 'Authorization': process.env.VEDIKA_API_KEY }
  });
  res.json(data);
});

async function fetchWithRetry(url, options, retries = 3) {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(url, options);

    if (response.status === 429) {
      // Rate limit hit
      if (retries > 0) {
        await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 1000));
        return fetchWithRetry(url, options, retries - 1);
      }
      throw new Error('Monthly quota exceeded');
    }

    return await response.json();
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('API Error:', error);
    throw error;
  }
}

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Advanced Features Available in Free Tier

Unlike other APIs that lock premium features behind paywalls, Vedika gives you access to advanced capabilities even in the free tier. You're only limited by query volume, not feature access:
