How many astrology terms are included in the database?

We include 1,000+ comprehensive astrology terms covering all major traditions: Western, Vedic, Chinese, and Hellenistic astrology. This includes everything from basic zodiac concepts to advanced traditional techniques like antiscia, profections, and primary directions. New terms are added monthly.

What languages does the Glossary API support?

We support 9 languages with professional translations: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, and Russian. Each translation is verified by native speakers with astrological expertise, not machine translated. This ensures terminology accuracy across cultures.

How does the pronunciation guide system work?

We provide IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) notation for accurate pronunciation plus audio files for complex terms. This helps users learn correct pronunciation of challenging astrological terms like 'syzygy', 'cazimi', or 'ayanamsa'. Essential for educational platforms and international users.

How much does the Glossary API cost?

Free plan includes 50 searches/month. Starter ($11/month) includes 1,000 searches. Professional ($37/month) includes 55,000 searches with pronunciation guides. Business ($99/month) gets 220,000 searches with all features. Enterprise starts at $399/month with unlimited access.

All 1,000+ definitions are written and verified by professional astrologers with expertise in multiple traditions. We include historical context, modern applications, and cultural variations. Definitions are updated quarterly to maintain accuracy and add new terminology.

Does the search support fuzzy matching and typos?

Yes! Our intelligent search uses fuzzy matching and semantic understanding. Users can find terms even with misspellings, partial words, or synonyms. For example, searching for 'opposition' suggests 'opposition aspect', '180-degree aspect', and related concepts.

Can I retrieve terms by category or browse systematically?

Absolutely! Terms are organized into categories: planets, signs, houses, aspects, techniques, and more. You can browse by category, get random terms for discovery, or search within specific astrological areas. Perfect for systematic learning or content organization.

How do I integrate term lookups into my React app?

Send a GET request to the /glossaries/term/[term-name] endpoint. The response includes definition, pronunciation, related terms, and category information. We provide React hooks and TypeScript definitions for easy integration with detailed code examples.

Are traditional astrology terms included?

Yes! We include comprehensive traditional astrology terminology from classical sources like Ptolemy, al-Biruni, and Lilly. This covers dignities, receptions, antiscia, profections, directions, and other classical techniques often missing in modern dictionaries.

Can I retrieve pronunciation audio files via the API?

Yes! For terms with pronunciation guides, we provide both IPA notation and direct links to audio files (MP3 format). This is especially valuable for mobile apps and educational platforms where users need to hear correct pronunciation.

Is there a free trial for the Glossary API?

Yes! The free plan includes 50 term searches per month with . This gives you full access to test definitions, search features, and integration before upgrading to paid plans with additional features.

How fast is the response time for term lookup?

Average response time is <300ms for complete term information including definitions, pronunciation, and related terms. 99th percentile is <500ms. This is 3-5x faster than typical dictionary APIs while providing much more comprehensive astrological content.

Why is intelligent search crucial for terminology lookup?

Users often don't know the exact spelling of astrological terms or may search using synonyms.

Our intelligent search uses fuzzy matching and semantic understanding to find relevant terms even with incomplete or alternative spellings.

For example, searching for 'opposition' also suggests 'opposition aspect' and '180-degree aspect'.

The system learns from usage patterns and offers contextual suggestions, making term discovery intuitive and educational rather than frustrating.
