Where a body is in the sky right now: azimuth, altitude, and whether it is up at all. Horizon coordinates are what you need to point at something — a camera, a telescope, or a finger. Azimuth is degrees clockwise from due north, altitude is degrees above the horizon and goes negative once the body has set. `above_horizon` and a sixteen-point compass bearing are derived here rather than left to you, because "is it up" is the actual question and a negative altitude renders as a perfectly valid-looking position. Accepts the UTC offset as either `timezone_as_float` or `time_zone`; the parent endpoint only accepts the second.

Request fields

Field	Type	Required	Notes
date_time	string (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.
altitude	number (double)	optional	OBSERVER elevation in metres, not a body's altitude.
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.
latitude	number (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. min -89.9 · max 89.9
longitude	number (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. min -180 · max 180
planet_names	array	optional	Bodies to report, e.g. ["SUN", "MOON", "MARS"].
time_zone	number (double)	optional	UTC offset. Either this or timezone_as_float; they mirror. min -12 · max 14
timezone_as_float	number (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. min -12 · max 14
