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

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

What ephemeris does VedIntel™ AstroAPI use?

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

Does VedIntel™ AstroAPI have a free plan?

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

What makes VedIntel™ AstroAPI better than VedicAstroAPI?

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.

python

from vedintel import (
    VedIntelClient,
    QuotaExhaustedError,
    RateLimitError,
    AuthError,
    VedIntelError,
)

try:
    result = client.planet_details(...)
except QuotaExhaustedError:
    print("Upgrade your plan at vedintelastroapi.com/dashboard/plans")
except RateLimitError:
    # Auto-retried 4x with backoff — only raised if all retries fail
    print("Still rate limited after retries")
except AuthError:
    print("Check your API key")
