Question 1

What does the Vedic astrology API return?

Accepted Answer

It returns full Jyotish chart data: planetary positions, the 12 houses and ascendant, divisional vargas from D1 to D60, Vimshottari and conditional dashas, 300+ yoga and dosha detections, nakshatras, muhurta and panchang, plus classical remedies — all as structured JSON. Vedika exposes 700+ API operations across 25 systems.

Question 2

How accurate are the astrology calculations?

Accepted Answer

Planetary math is computed by the XALEN Ephemeris, Vedika's own engine open-sourced under Apache-2.0. It was validated against reference ephemerides including JPL DE440 and the swetest tool, with a reproducible JPL DE440 benchmark finding zero charts deviating beyond 0.1 degree — sub-arcsecond mean agreement on the planets. The interpretation layer is grounded on this computed data, never model-guessed.

Question 3

Which astrology systems and languages are supported?

Accepted Answer

Three systems — Vedic (Jyotish), Western (tropical) and KP (Krishnamurti Paddhati) — are kept isolated so results never mix. Responses are available in 30 languages, including 14 Indic languages with native script output.

Question 4

Are the interpretations grounded in classical texts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Interpretations are grounded in the classical Jyotish corpus — Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Phaladeepika, Saravali and Jaimini — rather than generic AI training data, so every claim traces to a sourced text.

Question 5

Can I try the API before paying?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every endpoint has a free sandbox you can call without an API key, and this page renders the live output in a real app. Paid plans start at $12 per month with pay-per-use wallet credits; there is no free production tier.
