What is Directions API and how does it work?

Directions API calculates predictive timing using primary directions, secondary progressions, and other traditional techniques. It processes birth data through Swiss Ephemeris calculations to determine when significant astrological events might occur, providing precise timing analysis for astrology platforms.

How accurate are the directions calculations?

Our calculations use Swiss Ephemeris JPL DE431 data with 99.97% accuracy rate. This is the same astronomical data used by NASA and professional observatories, ensuring highest precision for predictive timing analysis in commercial astrology applications.

How fast does Directions API respond?

Directions calculations complete in under 300ms average response time, even for complex multi-year progressions. This enables real-time user interactions and responsive mobile app experiences while maintaining astronomical accuracy.

Can I integrate directions with current transits?

Yes! Our API supports multi-layered predictive analysis combining directions with current transits. This provides comprehensive timing analysis showing both long-term directed influences and immediate transit triggers for enhanced predictive accuracy.

What time periods can directions calculate?

The API supports directions calculations from 6000 BCE to 6000 CE, covering the entire range of historical and future astrological analysis. You can calculate directions for any time period with consistent Swiss Ephemeris precision.

How much does Directions API cost?

Pricing starts at $11/month for 1,000 requests. Professional tier ($37/month) includes 55,000 requests with AI interpretations. Business tier ($99/month) offers 220,000 requests. Free tier includes 50 monthly requests to get started.

Do you provide interpretations for directions aspects?

Yes! Professional and Business tiers include AI-powered interpretations for directions aspects and timing periods. These interpretations explain the meaning and potential manifestations of directed planetary contacts in clear, engaging language.

How do I integrate Directions API into my app?

Integration takes under 30 minutes with our RESTful JSON API and provided SDKs. Send a POST request with birth data and directions parameters, receive detailed timing analysis with aspects and optional interpretations. Full documentation and code examples available.

Can I receive real-time notifications for directions timings?

Yes! We offer webhook notifications for significant directions timings and aspect formations. Configure your app to receive real-time updates when important directed aspects activate within your specified orb settings.

Which aspects are calculated in directions?

We calculate all major aspects (conjunction, opposition, square, trine, sextile) and minor aspects (semi-square, sesquiquadrate, quincunx) with customizable orbs. Aspect calculations include exact timing and strength measurements for predictive analysis.

Is Directions API suitable for mobile apps?

Absolutely! With sub-300ms response times and lightweight JSON responses, the API is optimized for mobile applications. Native SDK support and efficient data formats ensure smooth performance on all devices.

Do you support annual profections calculations?

Yes! We include annual profections calculations as part of our comprehensive directions suite. Calculate profection years, time-lord periods, and activation timings using traditional Hellenistic techniques with modern precision.

Can I calculate directions for different house systems?

Yes! The API supports calculations with 23+ house systems including Placidus, Whole Sign, Equal House, and other traditional systems. House system selection affects angle directions and house-based timing analysis.

Which programming languages support Directions API?

Our RESTful API works with any programming language supporting HTTP requests. We provide official SDKs for JavaScript/Node.js, Python, PHP, and Ruby, plus comprehensive documentation for other languages.

How does directions analysis improve user engagement?

Astrology platforms using our Directions API report 34% higher user engagement. Predictive timing features create anticipation and regular check-ins, especially when combined with personalized notifications about important timing periods.

Can I white-label the directions calculations?

Yes! Enterprise plans include white-label options with custom branding and dedicated infrastructure. You can integrate our calculations seamlessly into your platform without Astrology API branding visible to end users.

What data format does Directions API return?

The API returns structured JSON with directions aspects, exact timing dates, strength measurements, and optional interpretations. The response format is designed for easy parsing and integration into web, mobile, and desktop applications.
