Vedic Astrology API
A Vedic astrology (Jyotish) API for developers: panchang, Hindu festival calendar, kundli, dashas, transits, kundli matching, muhurat, horoscopes, Varshaphal, Prashna, Lal Kitab, remedies and PDF reports, with narratives in 10+ languages.
Why developers choose it
- Swiss Ephemeris positions, Lahiri ayanamsa by default, and every calculation location-aware with IANA timezones.
- Festival and vrat dates verified against the printed panchangs of 14 cities on four continents.
- Authored narratives and names in Hindi and other Indian languages, not machine translation.
- An open-source MCP server so Claude, Cursor and Codex can call every endpoint as a tool.

Frequently asked questions
What can I build with a Vedic astrology API?
Kundli and horoscope apps, daily panchang screens, festival and Ekadashi calendars, kundli matching for matrimony sites, muhurat finders, AI astrology chatbots and downloadable kundli PDFs. The guide "How to build a Vedic astrology app" maps each screen to its endpoints and credit cost.
How do I start?
Create a free account for 1,500 credits a month, then call any endpoint with your key in the Authorization header. Keep the key on your server and have your app call your server.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. Every account gets 1,500 free credits a month with no card required. Paid plans start at ₹999 / $29 a month, and pay-as-you-go is available.
Can AI assistants such as Claude or Cursor call it directly?
Yes. The open-source LifeAstro MCP server exposes every endpoint as a tool for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex and other MCP clients that run local servers, using your existing API key.
Which ephemeris and ayanamsa does it use?
Planet positions come from the Swiss Ephemeris. Vedic calculations use the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa by default; other ayanamsas can be selected per request.
