# Remedies for a birth chart

`POST /vedic/remedies/chart`

## Request

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

Finds the grahas that are weak or afflicted in a sidereal chart and the doshas present, and returns their remedies with the reason each graha was selected. A graha is selected when its Shadbala is below the BPHS 27.32-33 requirement, when it is debilitated, when it is combust, or when it forms a present dosha (Mangal, Kaal Sarp, Pitru, Shrapit, Grahan, Guru-Chandal as on `/vedic/doshas/parashara/full`, Kemadruma by BPHS 37.11-13, Sade Sati on `targetDate`). `checked` shows every graha's Shadbala against its requirement and every dosha's result. Coordinates are required. Optional `types` filter. Nothing is ranked or prescribed.

## Query parameters

- `fields` string
- `precision` integer

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string

## Request body

- RemediesChart: Birth data for chart-driven remedies. Required: date (YYYY-MM-DD), time (HH:mm:ss), latitude and longitude; coordinates do NOT default to 0 here. Optional: types to filter, targetDate for Sade Sati.
  - `date` string, required
  - `time` string, required
  - `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. Ignored when timezone is sent.
  - `timezone` string: 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.
  - `latitude` number, required: Birth latitude. Required: Shadbala and the doshas read the lagna.
  - `longitude` number, required: Birth longitude. Required: Shadbala and the doshas read the lagna.
  - `houseSystem` 'P' | 'K' | 'R' | 'C' | 'E' | 'W' | 'B' | 'M' | 'O' | 'A' | 'T' | 'V' | 'D' | 'F' | 'G' | 'H' | 'I' | 'i' | 'L' | 'N' | 'Q' | 'S' | 'U' | 'X' | 'Y'
  - `name` string
  - `city` string
  - `zodiacType` 'tropical' | 'sidereal'
  - `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.
  - `cosmogram` boolean
  - `types` string[]: Return only these remedy types. All types when omitted.
  - `targetDate` string: Date for the Sade Sati check, YYYY-MM-DD (UTC noon). Today when omitted.
