What is the Vedika KP Astrology API?

The Vedika KP Astrology API implements the Krishnamurti Paddhati (KP) system as structured JSON: the KP birth chart and house cusps with their sub-lords, significators, the sub-lord table, ruling planets, KP horary, KP dasha, the 4-step theory, transit analysis and remedies.

It is part of the Vedika astrology API, so the same base URL, key and wallet also cover Vedic charts, dashas and matching. Positions are computed by Vedika Ephemeris, Vedika's own astronomical engine (Apache-2.0); its agreement with NASA JPL DE440 is published body by body on the ephemeris benchmarks page.

The standard input is a birth datetime, latitude, longitude and timezone. Horary takes a question and a horary number, and compatibility takes two profiles. The API reference lists the exact parameters for each route.

Call it in one request

Send the birth datetime, latitude, longitude and timezone. Auth is a Bearer API key. The keyless sandbox mirrors the production routes.

curl -X POST https://api.vedika.io/v2/astrology/kp/cusps \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer vk_live_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"datetime":"1990-05-15T10:30:00+05:30","latitude":28.6139,"longitude":77.209,"timezone":"Asia/Kolkata"}'

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.

Where the KP Astrology API fits

Use it for KP-based astrology apps, prashna (horary) tools and astrologer dashboards that need cusp sub-lords and significators as data rather than prose. For Parashari charts and timing see the Kundali API and the Dasha API.

Questions

What does the KP astrology API return?

It returns Krishnamurti Paddhati data as structured JSON: the KP birth chart and house cusps with their sub-lords, significators, the sub-lord table, ruling planets, KP horary and KP dasha, plus the 4-step theory, transit analysis, prediction and remedies.

Does it support KP horary (Prashna)?

Yes. POST /v2/astrology/kp/horary is the KP horary route. It takes the question and a horary number; the API reference lists its other parameters.

How is the KP chart calculated, and how accurate is it?

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, matching scores or AI answers.

Can I try the KP 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 KP 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.
