The API is returning incorrect data

[nitinmukesh]

Many thanks to author for creating this. I think I am doing something wrong and nothing to do with this project.

I have the following details
27-Apr-1979
06.45 AM
Meerut (Uttar Pradesh)
+5.30

I setup the project locally and pass the information
Got the longitude/Latitude values from here https://www.latlong.net/

http://localhost:3000/horoscope?time=1979-04-27T06%3A45%3A00%2B05%3A30&latitude=28.984463&longitude=77.706413

Unescaped URL (for ref only)
http://localhost:3000/horoscope?time=1979-04-27T06:45:00+05:30&latitude=28.984463&longitude=77.706413

The result I am getting is incorrect, like Sun degree is 6 degree and sign is 2 which is incorrect. Kindly help with this, not sure what I am doing wrong.

Correct data

Hi! thanks you to report!

I think maybe you make a mistake when calculate the info in the screenshot.

In all sources where I tested the birth info that you share, I got the sun in 6th degrees in Taurus 🤔. Maybe you made a mistake when you input the latitude & longitude when you tried to test in the screenshot.

This is my test in the sweph test tool:

https://www.astro.com/cgi/swetest.cgi?b=1.1.2002&n=1&s=1&p=&e=-ejpl&f=fPLBRS%2Bhead-hor&arg=-b27.04.1979+-g+-house77.706413%2C28.979191P+-ut0%3A00+-pd

This is my test in https://carta-natal.es:

So, Can you repeat or review the info using in your test (screenshot)?

The other option... Maybe you are comparing the api result with information in sidereal time. In that case, I don't have a quick solution, because this api has not contemplated in the short term to support sidereal time in its calculations.

Maybe you can fork this project and do a pull request with the support to sidereal time 👍
