Looking for a Prokerala API alternative?
VedIntel™ AstroAPI offers 116 Vedic endpoints, Claude AI narratives, Swiss Ephemeris local computation, and a free WordPress plugin. Here's a factual, side-by-side look.
Feature comparison
Information about Prokerala is drawn from their public documentation as of April 2026. Prokerala is a well-established platform — this comparison is factual and fair.
✓ indicates VedIntel™ offers this feature where Prokerala does not list it. All data accurate to April 2026.
What VedIntel™ AstroAPI offers
Beyond feature parity, VedIntel™ is built on a specific philosophy: all computation is local, all accuracy is verifiable, and AI narratives are a first-class part of the API.
Claude AI narrative layer
Request full chart readings, dasha period stories, and transit forecasts as human-readable prose — directly from the API. No competitor offers this depth of AI integration.
Swiss Ephemeris running locally
All planetary positions are computed on our own servers using Swiss Ephemeris. No third-party computation dependency means no upstream downtime — ever.
Verified against Jagannatha Hora
Every calculation has been cross-checked against Jagannatha Hora with Lahiri ayanamsa. You can reproduce and verify our results independently.
WordPress plugin
A free WordPress plugin with drag-and-drop widgets for panchang, kundali chart SVG, dasha timeline, and dosha reports. Zero PHP coding required.
MCP server for AI developers
Connect VedIntel™ AstroAPI to Claude Desktop or any MCP-compatible AI assistant. Developers building AI apps on top of Vedic astrology data can integrate in minutes.
Permanent natal chart cache
Once computed, any natal chart is cached forever in Supabase under a SHA-256 key. Subsequent calls return the same data instantly — saving calls and guaranteeing consistency.
Migration takes minutes — same REST pattern
VedIntel™ uses the same REST API pattern: GET requests, query parameters, JSON response. If you're already calling a Vedic astrology API, switching is a one-variable change.
