Life-area timing: career

Changed on

Career windows (job change, promotion) from the 10th house, its lord and the karakas Sun and Saturn, 6th, 11th and 2nd supporting; KP group 2, 6, 10, 11. Windows over years (1 to 20, default 5) from fromDate, cut at every Vimshottari period change (level pratyantar by default, or antar) and every Jupiter or Saturn sign change. Each window has score, its components (dasha, transit, kp) and every rule that fired, with basis (classical, modern, kp) and a source key into sources. Double transit (K.N. Rao, basis modern): Jupiter and Saturn both occupy or aspect a primary house or the sign of its lord. convergence marks a maha or antar rule plus a double transit. kp: true adds KP significators. No prediction text; the weights are the API's and are returned in rulesBasis.scoring.

Request

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.

Headers

Idempotency-Keystring

Unique per logical operation, kept across retries. For 24 hours from the first request, a repeat with the same key, method, path, body and query string returns the stored response with Idempotent-Replayed: true and costs 0 credits. The same key with a different body or query string is a 409 IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSED; a repeat while the first is still running is a 409 IDEMPOTENCY_IN_PROGRESS. Only 2xx responses are kept. See /idempotency/.

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.

Sidereal school by name. Lahiri when omitted. Equivalent to ayanamsaId; send either.

cosmogramboolean
fromDatestring

Start of the span, YYYY-MM-DD (UTC). Today when omitted.

yearsinteger

Length of the span in years, 1 to 20. Default 5.

level'antar' | 'pratyantar'

Finest dasha level that cuts the windows. pratyantar (default): maha, antar and pratyantar lords are scored. antar: maha and antar only, fewer and longer windows.

kpboolean

Add KP significators (Placidus cusps): each dasha lord scores for the houses of the area's KP group it signifies. Default false.

minScorenumber nullable

Leave out windows scoring below this. Default 1: every window where at least one rule fired.
