Quickstart

1. Create an API key

Create an AstroM8 account, then create an API key in the dashboard. Keep each key scoped to one environment and never expose it in browser code.

2. Call a deterministic endpoint

This request returns a planet snapshot for a UTC instant. Replace astrom8_live_... with your own key.

curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.astrom8.com/v1/planets?dt=2026-07-24T00:00:00Z' \
  --header 'X-API-Key: astrom8_live_...'

3. Preflight a paid workflow

The estimate endpoint validates the caller’s tier and remaining credit balance without creating usage or debiting credits.

curl --request POST \
  --url 'https://api.astrom8.com/api/v3/estimates' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'X-API-Key: astrom8_live_...' \
  --data '{"capability":"western.synastry"}'

When tier_allowed and sufficient_credits are both true, submit the requested workflow. A successful preflight is informational only; the operation itself rechecks access atomically.

4. Choose a product family

Open the Reference tab for Western relationship, return, progression, and transit calculations.
Go to Vedic guide for sidereal timing, matching, and chart calculations.
Go to reports for branded PDF jobs and result polling.
