Gemstone (ratna) recommendation

Changed on

Which of the nine gems to wear, from the sidereal lagna. Two schools are implemented: lagna-lord (default) prescribes the gems of the 1st, 9th and 5th lords as the life, lucky and benefic stones; functional-benefic classifies every graha by the houses it owns from the lagna, prescribes only for functional benefics led by the yogakaraka, and names the functional malefics as gems to avoid. Both reach the same three gems, because a functional benefic is a graha owning a trikona and the trikona lords are the 1st, 5th and 9th: the school changes the ordering, the role each gem carries, and the avoid list. The response always reports which one produced it. Coordinates are required, since the whole answer is derived from the lagna. Each gem carries its substitutes, day, finger, metal, weight range in ratti/grams/carats, and beeja mantra. Planet dignity is returned as context and does not change the list.

Query parameters

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.

Request body

datestring required
timestring required
timezoneOffsetnumber nullable

Hours from UTC at the given moment, not minutes. Fractional zones are hours too: 5.5 for India, 5.75 for Nepal, -3.5 for Newfoundland. Defaults to 0, meaning UTC. Ignored when timezone is sent.

timezonestring

IANA zone name such as Europe/Kyiv, or auto to look the zone up from latitude and longitude. The server takes the offset that zone kept at this local date and time, summer time included, and uses it in place of timezoneOffset. A clock time that happened twice takes the first occurrence; one skipped when clocks went forward takes the offset from before the change. Abbreviations such as EST are refused. Before 1970 the tz database is not reliable for every place, so send timezoneOffset when the local clock is known.

latitudenumber required

Birth latitude. Required: the lagna is what both schools prescribe from.

longitudenumber required

Birth longitude. Required: the lagna is what both schools prescribe from.

school'lagna-lord' | 'functional-benefic'

Prescription school. Both reach the same three gems (the trikona lords), and differ on what they withhold and on the ordering. The response always names the one used. Default: lagna-lord.
