Sky events timeline

Every sky event in a window, as one ordered timeline. Ingresses, retrograde stations, lunations and eclipses merged and sorted — a year-ahead calendar in one call rather than four. This is the feed to build a scheduler or a content calendar on. Use `include` to pick which families you want and `bodies` to narrow the planets; a five-year window with everything switched on is a large response. Eclipses come from the same engine code as the /api/astro/eclipse/ endpoints, so the two never disagree.

Authentication

Send your key in the X-API-Key header. Keys are server-side credentials — never put one in browser JavaScript or a mobile app.

Request fields

FieldTypeRequiredNotes
date_timestring (date-time)required

The moment to calculate for, ISO 8601. ALWAYS include an offset or a trailing Z - a value with no zone is read as Asia/Kolkata (UTC+05:30), not UTC, and can return the previous day's result with a 200. '2026-09-01T06:00:00Z' and '2026-09-01 06:00:00' are different instants and give different answers.

end_date_timestring (date-time)required

End of the window.

bodiesarrayoptional

Defaults to all eleven. Narrow it to keep responses small.

includearrayoptional

Which event families to merge. Defaults to all four.

keysarrayoptional

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.

latitudenumber (double)optional

Latitude of the place, in decimal degrees. Positive is north, negative is south. Example: 26.9124 for Jaipur, 40.7128 for New York. Minutes and seconds are not accepted - convert first.

longitudenumber (double)optional

Longitude of the place, in decimal degrees. Positive is east, negative is west. Example: 75.7873 for Jaipur, -74.0060 for New York. Note the sign: a missing minus puts New York in China.

phasesarrayoptional

Defaults to all four. Ask for new_moon and full_moon only if you do not need the quarters.

timezone_as_floatnumber (double)optional

UTC offset of the place, in hours, as a decimal. Example: 5.5 for India (UTC+05:30), -5 for New York in winter, 5.75 for Nepal. This is NOT validated against date_time - if the two disagree you get a successful response for the wrong moment, so derive both from the same source. Use the offset in force on that date, not today's: a summer birth in a country with daylight saving needs the summer offset.
