# Muhurat: month view for one ceremony

`POST /vedic/muhurat/month`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.astroway.info/v1`
- URL: `https://api.astroway.info/v1/vedic/muhurat/month`
- Auth: API key in header `X-Api-Key`
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/astroway/apis/astroway-calculation-api/docs/vedic/muhurat/month/post.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Every day of `month` (YYYY-MM) judged for one `activity` (the keys of GET /muhurta/types) by the same sunrise-panchang scorer as /vedic/muhurat/<activity>: tithi, vara, nakshatra, yoga, karana factors, score, rating, `suitable`, `barredBy` (the factors with a negative weight), plus `goodDates` and `bestDate`. No lagna windows: the scanners compute none.

## Query parameters

- `fields` string
- `precision` integer

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string

## Request body

- MuhuratMonthInput: One ceremony, one month, one place. Every day of the month is judged at its sunrise by the same rules as the per-ceremony scanner.
  - `activity` 'marriage' | 'vehicle-purchase' | 'business-start' | 'travel' | 'naming-ceremony' | 'surgery' | 'education-start' | 'investment' | 'property-purchase' | 'journey-long' | 'name-change' | 'general-auspicious', required: Ceremony, one of the keys GET /muhurta/types lists (marriage, property-purchase for Griha Pravesh, vehicle-purchase, naming-ceremony, business-start ...).
  - `month` string, required: Calendar month, YYYY-MM.
  - `latitude` number, nullable
  - `longitude` number, nullable
  - `timezoneOffset` number, 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.
  - `ayanamsaId` number, nullable
  - `ayanamsa` 'fagan-bradley' | 'lahiri' | 'de-luce' | 'raman' | 'krishnamurti' | 'kp' | 'yukteshwar' | 'jn-bhasin' | 'true-citra' | 'djwhal-khul': Sidereal school by name. Lahiri when omitted. Equivalent to ayanamsaId; send either.
