What is included in the free Vedic astrology API trial?
The free trial includes 500 API calls over 7 days with access to 128 of 135 endpoints — kundli, panchang, dasha, dosha, marriage matching, tarot, extended horoscope, Jaimini systems, Chinese astrology, Japanese astrology, and Numerology all included. No credit card is required to sign up.
Does the free trial expire?
Yes. The free trial runs for 7 days from signup, with a 500-call cap. After 7 days, your API key stops working until you upgrade to a paid plan or purchase the ₹999 Dev Pack (30,000 calls, 3 months, one-time purchase).
What happens when I exceed 500 calls, or the 7 days run out?
Whichever limit you hit first, the API returns a clear error with remaining_api_calls: 0 and an upgrade link. There is no way to reset the trial by waiting — the 7-day clock runs regardless of usage. You can upgrade to the Developer plan ($9/mo, 75,000 calls) or buy the ₹999 Dev Pack (30,000 calls, 3 months) at any point from your dashboard — the upgrade activates instantly.
Can I use the free trial in production?
The trial is meant for evaluation and building — 7 days is enough to validate your integration, but it's time-boxed, not a permanent production tier. For commercial applications serving real users, upgrade to the Developer ($9/mo) or Starter ($49/mo) plan, or use the ₹999 Dev Pack as a cheaper interim step. The natal chart caching system means your call usage is lower than you might expect — repeat birth dates never consume additional calls.
How is this different from other free astrology API trials?
Most free astrology API trials offer a limited subset of endpoints — often 20-30 "essential" ones. Our trial unlocks 128 of our 135 production endpoints with full VedIntel™ Precision Engine precision — the same computation engine used by professional Vedic astrology software — so you can build and validate a real feature, not just a narrow demo, before deciding to pay.
