POST/api/astro/panchanga-elements/1 credit

Panchanga element names

Every value the birth-effect lookup accepts, for all six elements. Sixteen tithis, eleven karanas, twenty-seven yogas, seven weekdays, seven horas and two pakshas. /api/astro/birth-panchanga-effects/ cannot really be used without this: the effects are keyed by name and the spellings the engine wants — `vishkumbha`, `surya`, `bava` — are not guessable. Takes no inputs.

Test Request

Authentication

Content-Type: application/json

Request fields

Field	Type	Required	Notes
hora	string	optional
karana	string	optional
keys	array	optional	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.
paksha	string	optional
tithi	string	optional
vaara	string	optional
yoga	string	optional
