Chinese zodiac sign texts (public, no key)
Short reading for each of the 12 animals (character, strengths, caution) and one paragraph per element on how it colours the sign, in 21 languages. Join animals[animal] and elements[element.cycling] from POST /chinese/zodiac/animal. Names are the same forms the Chinese endpoints return. lang is the language served; unknown codes resolve to uk like everywhere. Static data, Cache-Control: public, max-age=604800: fetch once per language.
Query parameters
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.
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.
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
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.
