Question 1

What does Astrology API (Prokerala) do?

Accepted Answer

Prokerala Astrology API is a comprehensive astrology and Hindu calendar API providing Vedic (Jyotish) astrology calculations, birth chart generation, planetary positions, panchang (Hindu almanac) data, auspicious muhurtas, marriage compatibility (kundali matching), numerology readings, and various other astrology-related data points used in Hindu, Jain, and broadly South Asian spiritual traditions. The API powers astrology platforms, spiritual lifestyle apps, matrimonial websites, and Hindu religious calendar applications across the world, with a freemium model that makes it accessible for startups and individuals while supporting commercial scale.

Birth chart (Kundali) generation is the core function of the Prokerala Astrology API, computing the positions of the Sun, Moon, and all nine planets (Navagrahas) at the moment of birth for a given date, time, and location. The API returns planetary positions in zodiac signs and houses (Bhavas), Lagna (ascendant), and Nakshatra (lunar mansion) data. For Nigerian astrology app developers serving the growing spirituality and self-discovery market, the birth chart data forms the foundation of personalized astrology readings, daily horoscopes, and compatibility analyses.

Panchang data provides the five traditional elements of the Hindu almanac for any date: Tithi (lunar day), Vara (day of the week with planetary ruler), Nakshatra (lunar mansion the Moon occupies), Yoga (auspicious combination), and Karana (half of a Tithi). Nigerian Hindu community platforms and spirituality apps can use Panchang data to present auspicious timings for important activities — starting a business, travel, marriages, and religious ceremonies — according to Hindu astrological principles.

Kundali matching (marriage compatibility) uses the Ashtakoot system (eight-fold compatibility analysis) to assess compatibility between two individuals for marriage, returning a compatibility score out of 36 points and detailed breakdown across the eight categories: Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot, and Nadi. Nigerian matrimonial platforms serving Hindu communities or spirituality-focused matchmaking apps can integrate Kundali matching as a compatibility feature.

Muhurta (auspicious timing) calculations identify propitious windows for specific activities including marriage ceremonies, business inaugurations, travel, property purchases, and medical procedures. Nigerian entrepreneurs in the Hindu community and spirituality practitioners across Nigeria seeking auspicious timing for significant life decisions can access Muhurta calculations through apps powered by the Prokerala API.

Numerology features in the Prokerala API calculate life path numbers, destiny numbers, soul urge numbers, and personality numbers from a person's name and birth date, returning numerological interpretations based on Pythagorean or Chaldean systems. Nigerian numerology apps and spiritual guidance platforms can offer numerology readings alongside astrology for a comprehensive spiritual profiling service.

Daily horoscope content is generatable through the API for all 12 zodiac signs, covering love, career, health, and general fortune for the day. Nigerian astrology content platforms and social media bots that publish daily horoscope content for their audiences can automate this content generation through the Prokerala API, keeping channels updated daily without manual astrology writing.

The API operates on a freemium model with a free tier allowing a limited number of API calls per month and paid plans for higher volumes and additional features, making it viable for Nigerian startups building astrology-focused apps that can start free and scale to paid plans as the user base grows.
