NodeJS

var request = require('request');
var options = {
  'method': 'POST',
  'url': 'https://astroapi-2.divineapi.com/indian-api/v1/find-choghadiya',
  'headers': {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer {Your Auth Token}'
  },
  formData: {
    'api_key': '{Your API Key}',
    'day': '24',
    'month': '05',
    'year': '2023',
    'Place': 'New Delhi',
    'lat': '28.6139',
    'lon': '77.2090',
    'tzone': '5.5',
    'lan': 'en'
  }
};
request(options, function (error, response) {
  if (error) throw new Error(error);
  console.log(response.body);
});

JavaScript jQuery AJAX

var form = new FormData();
form.append("api_key", "{Your API Key}");
form.append("day", "24");
form.append("month", "05");
form.append("year", "2023");
form.append("Place", "New Delhi");
form.append("lat", "28.6139");
form.append("lon", "77.2090");
form.append("tzone", "5.5");
form.append("lan", "en");

var settings = {
  "url": "https://astroapi-2.divineapi.com/indian-api/v1/find-choghadiya",
  "method": "POST",
  "timeout": 0,
  "headers": {
    "Authorization": "Bearer {Your Auth Token}"
  },
  "processData": false,
  "mimeType": "multipart/form-data",
  "contentType": false,
  "data": form
};

$.ajax(settings).done(function (response) {
  console.log(response);
});

Python

import requests

url = "https://astroapi-2.divineapi.com/indian-api/v1/find-choghadiya"

payload = {'api_key': '{Your API Key}',
'day': '24',
'month': '05',
'year': '2023',
'Place': 'New Delhi',
'lat': '28.6139',
'lon': '77.2090',
'tzone': '5.5',
'lan': 'en'}

headers = {
  'Authorization': 'Bearer {Your Auth Token}'
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)

Implementation Notes

Always send accurate latitude, longitude, and timezone to get correct sunrise/sunset-based choghadiya.

You can display day and night choghadiya separately in your UI.

For multi-language apps, pass lan so the API gives translated labels where supported.

This API fits well with daily panchang dashboards, muhurta pickers, and astrology scheduling tools.
