Moon Phase (public, no key)

Changed on

Geocentric moon phase for a date (computed at noon UTC): deterministic, no AI, no birth data. _footer watermark. The English phaseName, moonSign and sunSign are the stable identifiers to match on and never change; phaseKey is the eight-phase key (new, crescent, firstQuarter, gibbous, full, disseminating, lastQuarter, balsamic). moonDegree is the degree inside moonSign, distanceKm the Earth-Moon distance, and next the UTC moments of the next four principal phases after noon UTC of date. tithi is the Vedic lunar day (1-30, 12 degrees of elongation each, geocentric), voidOfCourse the void-of-course spans that touch the UTC day (start, end, the sign the Moon enters). The moonrise-counted lunar day depends on the place and is not given. meaning and keywords are English; localized carries them with the phase and sign names in the requested language (a language whose translation has not arrived yet gets the English text).

Query parameters

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"
}
