/api/astro/activities_day_of_week/1 creditWeekday activities
Each day of the week is ruled by a planet, and Vedic tradition assigns every weekday a set of undertakings it favours — particular metals, materials, trades and kinds of work. This endpoint returns that guidance as written English prose, one paragraph per weekday. It is a static lookup, not a calculation: no date, place or chart is involved, so the answer for Sunday is the same whichever Sunday you mean. Use it to caption a day in a calendar or panchanga view without having to write the copy yourself. Start with `get_all_weeks` to see the seven accepted names, then pass one of them as `week` alongside `get_week_activities`. Your input is lower-cased before the lookup, so casing does not matter. An unrecognised weekday comes back as an explanatory string with HTTP 200 rather than as an error.

| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| keys | array | required | Which calculations to return, as a list of names. See the key table for this endpoint; an unrecognised name rejects the whole request. One call costs one credit however many keys you ask for, so request everything you need at once rather than making several calls. get_week_activitiesget_all_weeks |
| week | string | optional | sundaymondaytuesdaywednesdaythursdayfridaysaturdayLowercase in the data and the engine does an exact `week not in self.info` check, but lowercases first, so any casing works. Required for key 'get_week_activities'. |

Ask for exactly the calculations you want by listing them in keys. An unknown key rejects the whole request, and you are charged 1 credit however many you ask for — so batch them.
| Key | Extra fields needed | Description |
|---|---|---|
| get_all_weeks | — | The seven weekday names this endpoint accepts, as a list of lower-case strings from 'sunday' to 'saturday'. Use it to discover the valid values for the `week` field. |
| get_week_activities | week | The activities traditionally favoured on the weekday named in `week` — metals, materials, trades and kinds of work — as a single English paragraph. An unrecognised weekday returns the string "Invalid week: '<value>'." with a 200 status rather than an error. |
