VedIntel AstroAPI provides a developer-focused Vedic astrology REST API built on the commercially licensed Swiss Ephemeris engine, offering 143 endpoints covering planetary positions, dashas, doshas, panchang, and AI-generated chart interpretations. The platform runs computations entirely locally with verified accuracy against JHora and DrikPanchang, and supports multiple ayanamsa systems, 23 languages, and a built-in MCP server for IDE integration.

Problem
Developers building Vedic astrology applications face significant technical hurdles: existing APIs are often inaccurate outside Indian timezones, lack support for complex computational edge cases like polar regions or quarter-hour offsets, and provide no native AI capabilities for generating narratives. Most APIs hardcode timezone assumptions, fail on DST transitions, and return incorrect results for global users, while requiring developers to build separate infrastructure for chart interpretation and language localization.
Solution
VedIntel AstroAPI provides a comprehensive REST API built on Swiss Ephemeris that runs entirely on local servers with zero external computational dependenciescars. The platform offers 143 live endpoints covering horoscopes, dashas, doshas, panchang, matching, numerology, and transits, with all calculations verified against JHora for divisional charts and DrikPanchang for panchang values to within one minute accuracy. A unique BYOLLM (Bring Your Own LLM) AI layer allows developers to connect their own OpenAI or Anthropic keys to generate 700-word chart interpretations, dasha narratives, and streaming chat responses. The API supports 23 languages with native script output, multiple ayanamsa systems including Lahiri, Raman, and KP, and returns all times in UTC with Unix timestamps for global consistency across every timezone on earth.
Target Audience
Primary users are developers and product teams building Vedic astrology applications, AI chatbots, or content platforms who need accurate astronomical computation with multilingual support and AI narrative generation capabilities.
Features
- 143 live REST endpoints covering planetary positions, ascendants, divisional charts (D1–D60), dashas, doshas (Sade Sati, Mangal, Kaalsarp), yogas, panchang, muhurta, transit, matching, numerology, and remedies
- Swiss Ephemeris engine running 100% locally with commercially licensed accuracy, validated by 667 automated regression tests on every deployment
- BYOLLM AI endpoints for full chart interpretations, dasha narratives, transit forecasts, and compatibility readings with streaming SSE chat support
- MCP server (22 tools) for integration with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code, enabling developers to prototype and scaffold against real computed data
- 23 language support including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, and all major European languages with native script output
- Multiple ayanamsa systems (Lahiri, Raman, KP, Pushya Paksha, Yukteshwar, Fagan Bradley, and others) plus true/mean node options for Rahu/Ketu
- Times returned in UTC with Unix timestamps, correctly handling edge cases like Kathmandu's UTC+5:45, Sydney DST, Reykjavik polar day, and Auckland's International Date Line
- Component Builder that generates real integration code, plus a translate-terms endpoint for full language dictionaries
