import requests
url = "https://astroapi-3.divineapi.com/indian-api/v2/phalguna-festivals"
payload = {'api_key': '{Your API Key}',

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)
print(response.text)Implementation Notes
Use Authorization: Bearer {Your Auth Token} and {Your API Key} securely; never expose them in client-side code.
Provide date, time, and coordinates in correct numeric formats; use decimal timezone values (e.g., 5.5).
Always check HTTP status codes, log responses, and handle 4xx and 5xx errors gracefully.
Defaults for lan are not applicable for this endpoint unless specified.
Test your integration via Postman before deploying to production.
Always use HTTPS for secure communication.
