# Astro Agents Vedic Doshas API

> Astro Agents Vedic Doshas API is a paid API for AI agents from astro-agent.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.15/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-10).

Calculates Vedic astrology doshas (Manglik, Kaal Sarp, Sade Sati) for a given birth location, date, and time using the JPL DE440 ephemeris with no LLM involvement.

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://astro-agent.dev/v1/vedic/doshas?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.15/call
- Payment: x402

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability astro-agents-vedic-doshas-api-d3eaa7a3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Check the Vedic doshas — Manglik, Kaal Sarp, and Sade Sati — for someone born on March 15, 1990 at 10:30 AM in Mumbai (latitude 19.076, longitude 72.8777, Asia/Kolkata timezone) using the Lahiri ayanamsa and whole sign houses.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need reproducible, verifiable Vedic astrology dosha calculations — especially Manglik, Kaal Sarp, or Sade Sati — backed by the NASA/JPL DE440 ephemeris with no LLM randomness. Ideal when auditability (SHA-256 hash) and determinism matter, such as in astrological software, matchmaking apps, or any scenario requiring consistent, repeatable results across runs.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required latitude or longitude returns a validation error
- Invalid date or time format causes a parsing error
- Timezone string not recognized returns an error
- Coordinates out of range (-90 to 90 lat, -180 to 180 lon) rejected
- Unsupported ayanamsa or house system enum value returns 400
- Date outside ephemeris range (1800-2200) may return an error or unsupported notice

## How this service works

Deterministic Western + Vedic astrology API for AI agents: JPL DE440 ephemeris, no LLM, reproducible SHA-256 hashes.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: Manglik dosha presence and severity level, Kaal Sarp dosha boolean, Sade Sati status for a given date (active signs and whether currently in Sade Sati), plus metadata including ephemeris version, engine version, LLM-used flag (always false), and a deterministic SHA-256 hash for result verification.
