Example Code Implementations

Below are example implementations in various programming environments.

cURL

curl --location 'https://astroapi-3.divineapi.com/indian-api/v1/muhurat/do-ghati' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {Your Auth Token}' \
--form 'api_key="{Your API Key}"' \
--form 'day="24"' \
--form 'month="05"' \
--form 'year="2023"' \
--form 'place="New Delhi"' \
--form 'lat="28.6139"' \
--form 'lon="77.2090"' \
--form 'tzone="5.5"' \
--form 'lan="en"'

Node.js

var request = require('request');
var options = {
  'method': 'POST',
  'url': 'https://astroapi-3.divineapi.com/indian-api/v1/muhurat/do-ghati',
  '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-3.divineapi.com/indian-api/v1/muhurat/do-ghati",
  "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/muhurat/do-ghati"

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)

Best Practices

Always send both Authorization: Bearer {Your Auth Token} and api_key in every request.

Make sure lat, lon, and tzone match the user’s actual location, since auspicious timings are location-specific.

Some fields may return empty arrays ([]) for certain dates; handle this gracefully in your UI.

Always use HTTPS for secure communication.

Use the lan parameter to localize the auspicious timing labels for your target audience.
