What the KP Astrology API gives you

KP stands for Krishnamurthy Paddhati, a Vedic method built on house cusps and sub lords. A cusp is the exact degree where a house begins. Each nakshatra is split into smaller parts, and each part has its own ruling planet.

KP readers judge results from this chain of lords, not from signs alone. Send us a birth date, time and place. We return planets, cusps and significators in KP form, ready for your own logic.

  • KP planets

    Degree, sign, house, nakshatra and charan (quarter) for each planet, with its sign lord, star lord, sub lord and sub sub lord.

  • House cusps

    The start degree of all 12 houses, with the same chain of lords for each cusp.

  • Planet significators

    The houses each planet signifies, as a list of house numbers.

  • House significators

    The planets that signify each house, as a list of planet names.

  • KP birth chart

    Planets placed by house, with the signs each house spans, so you can draw a cuspal chart.

KP Astrology API FAQ

What is KP astrology?

KP, or Krishnamurthy Paddhati, is a Vedic method that reads a chart through house cusps and sub lords. A sub lord is the planet that rules a small part of a nakshatra.

Which endpoints are in the KP set?

kp_planets, kp_house_cusps, kp_planet_significator, kp_house_significator and kp_birth_chart. All five take the same birth details, so you can call them side by side.

How exact must the birth time be?

As exact as you can get it. Cusps move quickly as the clock moves, so a few minutes can change a sub lord. Ask for the time on the birth record and send the right tzone for that date.

Do you return degrees in a readable form?

Yes. kp_planets returns each degree as a decimal and as a formatted string such as 72:11:22. kp_house_cusps also returns a formatted_degree for each cusp.

Which languages can the text come back in?

All KP endpoints support English, Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.

How do I begin?

Register for free to get an API key and 150 free credits. There is no card step. Call kp_house_cusps for a known chart and compare it with your own KP tables.
