## Request body

- object
  - `date` string, required: The date, YYYY-MM-DD.
  - `latitude` number, required: Decimal degrees, north positive. Places beyond 66° north or south are rejected with 422.
  - `longitude` number, required: Decimal degrees, -180 to 180, east positive.
  - `timezone` number, required: UTC offset in hours, -12 to 14. The API works out the historically correct offset for the place and date from the coordinates, and uses this value only where no time zone is known there.

  - `ayanamsa_mode` 'LAHIRI' | 'TRUE_CITRA' | 'TRUE_LAHIRI' | 'KP' | 'FAGAN' | 'RAMAN' | 'USHASHASHI' | 'YUKTESHWAR' | 'SURYASIDDHANTA' | 'SURYASIDDHANTA_MSUN' | 'ARYABHATA' | 'ARYABHATA_MSUN' | 'SS_CITRA' | 'TRUE_REVATI' | 'SS_REVATI' | 'TRUE_PUSHYA' | 'TRUE_MULA' | 'KP-SENTHIL' | 'SENTHIL': Ayanamsa (sidereal zodiac) to use. Case-insensitive. A value the API does not recognise as one of the listed modes is refused with HTTP 422 and a message listing them; it is never replaced by LAHIRI.
