Planets Combustion Transit API

The Planets Combustion Transit API provides detailed insights into the combustion phases of planets — periods when a planet comes very close to the Sun, losing its apparent brightness and influence in Vedic astrology. This API returns exact timestamps when combustion starts and ends for selected planets, helping astrologers identify crucial windows of weakened planetary strength.

Interpretation Guide

Combustion Start:
Marks the moment when the planet comes within proximity to the Sun and begins to lose visibility and power.

Combustion End:
Represents the point where the planet moves far enough from the Sun to regain its radiance and strength.

Use Case:
These periods are crucial in chart analysis, signifying when planetary effects are subdued and not suitable for auspicious activities related to that planet.

Example Code Implementations

Below are example implementations in various programming environments.

cURL

curl --location 'https://astroapi-3.divineapi.com/indian-api/v1/planet-combustion-transit/:planet' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {Your Auth Token}' \
--form 'api_key="{Your API Key}"' \
--form 'month="05"' \

Node.js

var request = require('request');
var options = {
  'method': 'POST',
  'url': 'https://astroapi-3.divineapi.com/indian-api/v1/planet-combustion-transit/:planet',
  'headers': {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer {Your Auth Token}'
  },
  formData: {
    'api_key': '{Your API Key}',
    '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("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-3.divineapi.com/indian-api/v1/planet-combustion-transitplanet-combustion-transit/:planet",
  "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-3.divineapi.com/indian-api/v1/planet-combustion-transit/:planet"

payload = {'api_key': '{Your API Key}',
'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 include both Authorization (Bearer token) and api_key in your request.

Replace :planet in the endpoint URL with the actual planet name (e.g., mercury, venus, mars).

Ensure correct tzone, lat, and lon values for accurate astronomical calculations.

The API can return two types of records for a single planet in a given year — one for the start and another for the end of combustion.

Useful for determining favorable timelines for rituals, investments, or career decisions based on planetary strength.
