Changed on

One animal against one day: the day pillar and the year pillar (from Li Chun), how their branches stand to the animal (same, secretFriend 六合, trine 三合, clash 六冲, harm 六害 or neutral), benMingNian when the year is the animal's own, and energy, 1-10 from 5 with every step in factors: a stated heuristic (day: friend or trine +2, same +1, harm -2, clash -3; year: friend or trine +1, same or harm -1, clash -2), not a classical score.

One of the twelve, English, any case.

datestring date

Calendar date YYYY-MM-DD (UTC). Defaults to today.

langstring
Example:en

Language for this call, overriding Accept-Language. The canonical per-call form: a page that renders in one language passes it here rather than reconfiguring its client. Unknown or inactive codes fall back to uk.

fieldsstring

Comma-separated dotted paths, relative to data, to keep in the response. A path is applied to every element of an array, so planets.name means the name of each planet. Paths that match nothing come back in _fields_unmatched; a list where nothing matches at all is a 400, because an empty object would be a confident wrong answer.

precisioninteger

Round every non-integer number in the response to this many decimal places. Integers are left alone, because an id is not a measurement. Ecliptic longitudes ship with fourteen decimals by default; 2 is about a tenth of an arcminute.

Headers

Accept-Languagestring

BCP-47 language (e.g. uk, en, de). Set it once on your HTTP client as its default; for a single call, ?lang= overrides it. Unknown or inactive codes fall back to uk.

Response

OK

okboolean
_footerstring

Free-tier watermark, present on every public response. Keys on a paid plan do not receive it.

Example response

{
  "ok": true,
  "_footer": "Powered by astroway.api - get your own key at https://api.astroway.info"
}
