Migrate from VedicAstroAPI to Vedika: Developer Guide

VedicAstroAPI vs Vedika API

VedicAstroAPI provides ~40 Vedic astrology endpoints. Vedika API offers 300+ endpoints spanning Vedic, Western, and KP astrology systems with AI-powered interpretations. The migration is straightforward with direct endpoint equivalents for all VedicAstroAPI features.

Quick Migration Steps

1. Sign up at vedika.io/console to get your API key (vk_live_* format). 2. Replace base URL from api.vedicastroapi.com to api.vedika.io. 3. Change authentication from query parameter to X-API-Key header. 4. Update request body format (datetime ISO 8601, timezone as UTC offset). 5. Test in sandbox first (vedika.io/sandbox — no auth needed).
