Question 1

What does the Chinese astrology API return?

Accepted Answer

It returns BaZi Four Pillars (year, month, day and hour pillars) with luck pillars, Feng Shui flying stars, and Chinese zodiac compatibility — all as structured JSON in 12 languages.

Question 2

What is BaZi (Four Pillars)?

Accepted Answer

BaZi maps a birth date and time to four pillars of heavenly stems and earthly branches, used to read elemental balance and destiny. The API returns the pillars plus the timed luck pillars.

Question 3

Does it support Feng Shui flying stars?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The API computes flying star charts for Feng Shui analysis, which you can pair with the directional logic in the Vastu and Chinese astrology endpoints.

Question 4

How accurate are the pillar calculations?

Accepted Answer

Pillar boundaries depend on precise solar terms and time, which Vedika computes with the XALEN Ephemeris — its own engine validated against reference ephemerides including JPL DE440 with sub-arcsecond agreement.

Question 5

Can I try the Chinese astrology API live?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every endpoint has a free sandbox you can call without an API key, with live demos in 12 languages. Paid plans start at $12 per month.
