Today we shipped 87 new endpoints across 6 namespaces — the largest single release in APlicious history. This brings the platform to 21 namespaces and 302+ live endpoints, all under one API key.
What shipped
All 6 namespaces are live and production-ready today:
- Astrology (20 endpoints) — Western tropical natal charts, transits, synastry, daily horoscopes, aspects, Arabic Parts, solar return, progressed sun, and more. Powered by astronomy-engine (JPL-grade ephemeris).
- Vedic Astrology (15 endpoints) — Kundli, Vimshottari Dasha, nakshatra, divisional charts (D1–D60), yoga detection, navamsa, Ashtakavarga, compatibility, muhurta. Lahiri ayanamsa, all 9 grahas + Rahu/Ketu.
- Panchang (15 endpoints) — Full Hindu almanac: tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, Rahu Kaal, choghadiya, abhijit muhurta, muhurta finder, varsha panchang, and more.
- Numerology (14 endpoints) — Life path, expression, soul urge, pinnacles, challenges, personal year, compatibility, lucky numbers — Pythagorean and Chaldean systems.
- Astronomy (13 endpoints) — Planet positions, rise/set times, solar and lunar eclipses, moon phase, equinox/solstice, conjunctions, planetary visibility, sky events.
- Ephemeris (10 endpoints) — Raw developer-tier data: Julian dates, sidereal time, obliquity, Delta-T, precession, lunar nodes, star catalog (800+ fixed stars).
The tech behind it
All six namespaces run on two engines. The astronomy-engine npm package handles Western astrology and astronomy — it uses JPL DE421 data and runs fully in Node.js with no native dependencies. For Vedic and Panchang, we use Swiss Ephemeris (swisseph), for which we hold a full commercial perpetual license — no per-call fees, no royalties.
The swisseph package is a native C addon compiled via node-gyp. Vercel standard serverless functions run on Amazon Linux and fully support native .node binaries — no WASM required. We bundle the .se1 ephemeris data files viaoutputFileTracingIncludes in next.config.js.
Market opportunity
Astrotalk alone generates over ₹1,000 crore (~$120M) annually. Co-Star has 20 million users. 77% of Gen Z reports believing in astrology. India's 1.4 billion population consults panchang daily. 120 million Americans say they follow numerology. And yet quality APIs for this space barely exist — most are expensive, poorly documented, or locked behind heavy usage fees.
APlicious gives you verified, calculation-accurate ephemeris data for one flat API key price. Build the next Astrotalk, the next Co-Star, or a niche panchang app for your local temple — the data tier is the same.
