API explorer

The API explorer lists every endpoint of the API and lets you call it from this website. It is built on Scalar, an open-source API client, and reads the same OpenAPI 3.1 description as the API reference. Use the reference to read about an endpoint and the explorer to try it.

Make a callCopy Anchor Link

1. Create a key under API keys in the dashboard. Use a test key (sk_test_…): calls go to the sandbox and spend no live credits. A live key (sk_live_…) works too, and each call costs the credits shown for that endpoint.
2. Open the explorer, find the endpoint in the sidebar or with search, and press Test Request.
3. Under Authentication, choose bearerAuth and paste the key.
4. Edit the example body (birth details, options) and press Send. The response, its status and headers such as X-Credits-Used and RateLimit-Remaining appear on the right.

The code panel shows the same request in curl, JavaScript, Python, PHP, Go and other languages, ready to copy into your project.

Keys and privacyCopy Anchor Link

• Your key stays in the browser tab. It is not saved to your account or sent anywhere except the API.
• The browser cannot call the API directly with a secret key (secret keys get no CORS access, see key restrictions), so the explorer sends each request through 96astroapi.com, which forwards it unchanged to api.96astroapi.com and nothing else. It is the same request curl would send.
• Do not paste a live key on a shared or public computer. Revoke a key in the dashboard if it may have been exposed.

LimitsCopy Anchor Link

Calls from the explorer are ordinary API calls: the same credits and rate limits, errors and responses. Report capabilities return JSON here; PDF reports run as jobs.

To try a few calls without a key, use Try it on a capability's page in the catalogue (10 calls a minute, 60 a day).
