Step by step

01Call the all-in-one panchang endpoint

One endpoint returns all 22 panchang fields for a date and location. This is the simplest way to show a complete daily panchang in a single card.

GET /v1/panchang/summary
curl "https://api.divyastroapi.com/v1/panchang/summary?date=2026-04-19&time=06%3A30&tz=%2B05%3A30&lat=28.61&lon=77.21" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer dv_live_..."
example response
{
  "date": "2026-04-19",
  "tithi": { "index": 2, "name": "Dwitiya", "paksha": "Shukla" },
  "nakshatra": { "index": 8, "name": "Pushya", "pada": 2, "lord": "Saturn" },
  "yoga": { "index": 12, "name": "Dhruva" },
  "karana": { "index": 3, "name": "Gara" },
  "vara": { "name": "Sunday", "lord": "Sun" },
  "sunrise": "06:18:42",
  "sunset":  "18:51:20",
  "rahu_kaal": { "start": "16:45", "end": "18:19" }
}

02Fetch hora and choghadiya separately

For real-time widgets that show the current planetary hour or the current choghadiya slot, call these two endpoints. They are location-aware and split by day/night.

GET /v1/panchang/hora
curl "https://api.divyastroapi.com/v1/panchang/hora?date=2026-04-19&time=14%3A20&tz=%2B05%3A30&lat=28.61&lon=77.21" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer dv_live_..."

03Render in your UI

Call these endpoints from your backend (never from the browser — your API key must stay server-side). Cache the result per-day per-location for 24 hours. The panchang rarely changes mid-day so this is almost free.
