Quick Start with User ID and API Key

In this guide, you'll learn how to use the AstrologyAPI to request natal chart details for the given birth details. We will use Postman to call the APIs.

Before You Start

Make sure you already have the User Id and API Key required to make API requests. If not, you can generate a new User Id and API Key by signing up for a trial subscription. You will also need the Postman tool which you can get free from here.

STEP 1

Initial Setup

  • Open Postman on your computer.
  • Select the HTTP method as POST. We are going to use this API - /western_horoscope
  • Copy the full API URL and paste as below

STEP 2

Add Authentication

  • Go to the Auth tab of Postman.
  • Since all the APIs use Basic Auth, we will use Basic Auth from the Type select box.
  • Now, enter your user id as the username and API key as the password.

Send Request
