Vedic Astrology REST API
The same deterministic, license-clean engine that powers this site, as a white-label JSON API. Panchānga, sidereal natal charts, the muhūrta finder and Ashtakoota compatibility — no ephemeris wrangling, no data stored. Authenticate with an API key and call the pure endpoints below.
Authentication
Every request carries your key in the Authorization header:
Authorization: Bearer ak_your_key_here - • Keys start with
ak_. We store only a hash — copy a new key when it is shown; it is never displayed again. - • Each key has a monthly request quota; exceeding it returns
429. - • The API is CORS-open for reads. Never ship a key in client-side code you don’t control — treat it as a secret.
- • No birth data is stored — inputs are used only to compute the response and then discarded.
The developer API is free while in preview; it will require a Plus/Pro plan later. Manage keys below once you’re signed in.
/api/v1/panchanga Panchānga
The five limbs + sunrise/sunset/Rahu-Kālam for a place and instant.

Grounded SLM training endpoints
The deterministic engine is the source of truth for building a small, grounded Vedic-astrology model. These endpoints expose everything a separate model-training project needs — the complete analysis facts for any chart, the sourced rule corpus, the groundedness checker (also the RLVR reward), the golden eval set, and a seeded synthetic-curriculum generator — all label-only, with no birth data stored. See the SLM API guide for the full workflow.
/api/v1/facts Complete analysis (facts)
The single deterministic source of truth for a chart — every section the engine computes (planets, houses, yogas, doshas, all daśās, transits, vargas, remedies…). The LLM only re-narrates this.
curl -X POST "https://jothi.sh/api/v1/facts" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ak_your_key_here" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"birth":{"year":1990,"month":8,"day":15,"hour":6,"minute":30,"lat":12.97,"lon":77.59,"tz":"Asia/Kolkata"},"text":true}' /api/v1/rules Rule corpus
The sourced, own-worded rule corpus + concept-graph edges the answers stand on (planet/house/yoga/dosha significations with citations).
curl "https://jothi.sh/api/v1/rules" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ak_your_key_here" /api/v1/groundedness Groundedness check
Verify a candidate answer against a chart’s facts — flags invented yogas, misplaced planets and fabricated citations. The same sieve used to gate training data and as the RLVR reward.
curl -X POST "https://jothi.sh/api/v1/groundedness" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ak_your_key_here" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"answer":"Your chart has a strong Gajakesari yoga…","birth":{"year":1990,"month":8,"day":15,"hour":6,"minute":30,"lat":12.97,"lon":77.59,"tz":"Asia/Kolkata"}}' /api/v1/evalset Golden eval set
The fixed Ch-17 golden cases a model self-tests against — question + expected behaviour + engine-derived must-mention / must-not-claim (incl. the Gajakesari regression). Deterministic.
curl "https://jothi.sh/api/v1/evalset" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ak_your_key_here" /api/v1/synthesize Synthesize curriculum
Seeded + deterministic synthetic, label-only charts + their full ground-truth analysis, for training at scale. Also returns the diversity question bank. No PII.
