Question 1

Is VedIntel™ AstroAPI a drop-in replacement for VedicAstroAPI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Same endpoint paths via /v3-json/* rewrites. Change one environment variable. Same parameter names, same response structure.

Question 2

What ephemeris does VedIntel™ AstroAPI use?

Accepted Answer

Swiss Ephemeris running locally — same engine as Jagannatha Hora and Parashara Light. Zero external dependency means zero third-party downtime risk.

Question 3

Does VedIntel™ AstroAPI have a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. 500 API calls per month, all core Vedic endpoints, no credit card required.

Question 4

What makes VedIntel™ AstroAPI better than VedicAstroAPI?

Accepted Answer

Three things — Swiss Ephemeris runs locally so cached responses are 10x faster. Parashari engine detects 30+ yogas with depth VedicAstroAPI does not have. Only Vedic API with native Claude AI narrative endpoints.
