Ashtakoot Analysis

Endpoint POST https://starsapi.com/api/v3/vedic/matchmaking/ashtakoot-analysis

Returns a plain-language interpretation of each of the 8 Ashtakoot kootas, personalized with person names when provided. Pairs with /ashtakoot which returns the raw scoring table.

Authentication

Method	Example
Header (recommended)	`X-Api-Key: am_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx`
Bearer	`Authorization: Bearer am_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx`
Query	`?api_key=am_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx`

Request body

Field	Type	Required	Description
`person1`	object	Yes	First person’s birth data (see fields below).
`person2`	object	Yes	Second person’s birth data (same fields).
Each person object:
`name`	string	No	Echoed in the response and used to personalize analysis text. Falls back to Bride/Groom or Person 1/Person 2.
`gender`	string	No	`male` or `female` — determines bride/groom role assignment.
`year`	integer	Yes	Birth year.
`month`	integer	Yes	Birth month, 1–12.
`day`	integer	Yes	Day of month.
`hour`	integer	Yes	Hour, 24-hour.
`minute`	integer	Yes	Minute.
`second`	integer	No	Default `0`.
`latitude`	number	Yes	Decimal degrees.
`longitude`	number	Yes	Decimal degrees.
`timezone`	string	Yes	IANA timezone.
Optional (top-level):
`ayanamsa`	string	No	Default `lahiri`.
`node_type`	string	No	`mean` (default) or `true`.

Response shape

Birth input is not echoed back in the response. The roles block maps each person to their bride/groom role (derived from gender; defaults to person1 = bride).

kutas[]

Field	Type	Description
`koot`	string	Koota name in Title Case.
`area`	string	Life area this koota tests.
`compatibility`	string	Quick grade: `high`, `medium`, or `low`.
`text`	string	Plain-language interpretation using person names (e.g. “Priya’s varna (Kshatriya) is higher than Rahul’s…”). Falls back to Bride/Groom when names are not provided.

Scores, points, and dosha flags live in /ashtakoot — call both endpoints to combine the table with interpretation.

Errors

HTTP	Code	Cause
400	`MISSING_FIELD`	Required field absent.
400	`INVALID_DATE`	Bad calendar date.
400	`INVALID_TIME`	Hour/minute/second out of range.
400	`INVALID_TIMEZONE`	Non-IANA timezone.
400	`INVALID_COORDINATE`	Lat/lon out of range.
400	`INVALID_GENDER`	Gender not male/female/m/f.
405	`METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED`	Non-POST request.
