@roxyapi/sdk - Agent Guide

TypeScript SDK for RoxyAPI. Twelve domains (Western astrology, Vedic astrology, numerology, tarot, biorhythm, I Ching, crystals, dreams, angel numbers, location, usage, languages). One API key, fully typed, zero runtime dependencies.

Before writing any code with this SDK, read docs/llms-full.txt in this package for the complete method reference with examples.

Install and initialize

npm install @roxyapi/sdk

import { createRoxy } from '@roxyapi/sdk';

const roxy = createRoxy(process.env.ROXY_API_KEY!);

createRoxy sets the base URL (https://roxyapi.com/api/v2) and auth header automatically. Every method returns { data, error, response }.

Critical rule: geocode before any chart endpoint

Every chart, horoscope, panchang, dasha, dosha, navamsa, KP, synastry, compatibility, and natal endpoint needs latitude, longitude, and (for Western) timezone. Never ask the user for coordinates. Always call roxy.location.searchCities first.

const { data } = await roxy.location.searchCities({ query: { q: 'Mumbai' } });
const { latitude, longitude, timezone } = data.cities[0];
// `timezone` is the IANA string ("Asia/Kolkata"). Pass it directly to any chart
// endpoint and the server resolves it to the DST-correct decimal offset using
// the chart's own `date`, so a January 1990 New York chart picks EST (-5) even
// when you looked the city up in July. If you prefer numbers, `utcOffset`
// (5.5, -5, 9, ...) also works and produces identical charts.

q accepts bare city ('Mumbai'), city + country ('Berlin Germany'), or comma-qualified ('Springfield, Illinois'). Use the qualified form to disambiguate same-named cities.

Domains

Type roxy. to see all available namespaces. Type roxy.{domain}. to see every method in that domain.

Namespace	Endpoints	What it covers
`roxy.astrology`	22	Western astrology: natal charts, horoscopes, synastry, moon phases, transits, compatibility
`roxy.vedicAstrology`	42	Vedic/Jyotish: birth charts, dashas, nakshatras, panchang, KP system, doshas, yogas
`roxy.numerology`	16	Life path, expression, soul urge, personal year, karmic analysis, compatibility
`roxy.tarot`	10	Rider-Waite-Smith deck: spreads, daily pulls, yes/no, Celtic Cross, custom layouts
`roxy.biorhythm`	6	10-cycle biorhythm readings, forecasts, critical days, compatibility, daily check-ins (wellness, dating, productivity)
`roxy.iching`	9	I Ching: hexagrams, trigrams, coin casting, daily readings
`roxy.crystals`	12	Crystal healing properties, zodiac/chakra pairings, birthstones, search

`roxy.usage`	1	API usage stats and subscription info
`roxy.languages`	1	Supported response languages for the lang query parameter (code, English name, native name)

Total: 130 endpoints across 10 product domains plus usage and languages. Counts auto-sync from specs/openapi.json at release time.

Critical patterns

Two-step pattern for coordinate-dependent endpoints

const { data } = await roxy.location.searchCities({ query: { q: 'Delhi' } });
const { latitude, longitude, timezone } = data.cities[0];

const { data: chart } = await roxy.astrology.generateNatalChart({
  body: { date: '1990-01-15', time: '14:30:00', latitude, longitude, timezone },
});

GET endpoints - use `path` for URL params, `query` for query params

await roxy.astrology.getDailyHoroscope({ path: { sign: 'aries' } });
await roxy.crystals.getCrystalsByZodiac({ path: { sign: 'leo' } });
await roxy.crystals.searchCrystals({ query: { q: 'amethyst' } });

POST endpoints - use `body` for request data

Most valuable endpoints (charts, spreads, calculations) are POST:

await roxy.astrology.generateNatalChart({
  body: { date: '1990-01-15', time: '14:30:00', latitude, longitude, timezone },
});

await roxy.vedicAstrology.generateBirthChart({
  body: { date: '1990-01-15', time: '14:30:00', latitude, longitude },
});

await roxy.tarot.castCelticCross({ body: { question: 'What should I focus on?' } });

await roxy.numerology.calculateLifePath({ body: { year: 1990, month: 1, day: 15 } });

Multi-language via `query: { lang }`

Eight languages: en, tr, de, es, fr, hi, pt, ru. Defaults to en.

await roxy.tarot.getDailyCard({ body: { date: '2026-04-22' }, query: { lang: 'es' } });
await roxy.numerology.calculateLifePath({
  body: { year: 1990, month: 1, day: 15 },
  query: { lang: 'hi' },
});

Supported: astrology, vedicAstrology, numerology, tarot, biorhythm, iching, crystals, angelNumbers. English-only: dreams, location, usage, languages. To list supported codes at runtime, call roxy.languages.listLanguages().

Error handling

All errors return { error: string, code: string }. The error field is human-readable (may change wording). The code field is machine-readable (stable, switch on this).

const { data, error, response } = await roxy.astrology.getDailyHoroscope({
  path: { sign: 'aries' },
});

if (error) {
  console.error('Code:', error.code, 'Message:', error.error);
  return;
}
console.log(data.sign, data.overview);

Field formats that trip agents

These are the fields AI agents most often get wrong. Copy the format column exactly.

Field	Format	Good	Bad
`timezone`	Decimal hours (number) OR IANA string	`5.5`, `-5`, `0` (decimal) OR `"Asia/Kolkata"`, `"America/New_York"` (IANA, resolved to DST-correct offset for the chart date)	`"5:30"`, `"+0530"`, `"GMT-5"`, partial names
`date`	ISO date string	`"1990-01-15"`	`"Jan 15 1990"`, `new Date()`, `"15/01/1990"`, `"1990-1-15"`
`time`	24-hour string	`"14:30:00"`, `"09:00:00"`	`"2:30 PM"`, `"14:30"` (no seconds), `"9:0:0"` (no leading zeros)
`latitude`	Decimal degrees (number)	`28.6139` (Delhi), `-33.8688` (Sydney), `40.7128` (NYC)	`"28°36'N"`, `"28 36 50"`, strings
`longitude`	Decimal degrees (number)	`77.209` (Delhi), `-74.006` (NYC), `139.6917` (Tokyo)	Same as latitude - no DMS strings
`sign` (horoscope path)	Lowercase zodiac name	`aries`, `taurus`, `gemini`, ... `pisces`	`"Aries"`, `"♈"`, `"1"`, `"ARIES"` (case-insensitive but prefer lowercase)
`fullName` (numerology)	Birth-certificate name	`"John William Smith"`, `"Priya Rajesh Sharma"`	Nickname, married name, partial name - affects all letter-based calcs
`seed`	Any string (deterministic)	`"user-42"`, `"session-abc-123"`, email hash	Numbers, objects - must be string
`number` (angel numbers path)	String	`"1111"`, `"777"`, `"1234"`	`1111` (int) fails path validation
`id` (nakshatra / dream / tarot)	Slug	`"ashwini"`, `"flying"`, `"the-fool"`, `"three-of-cups"`	Display names, uppercase, spaces
`houseSystem`	Enum	`"placidus"` (default), `"whole-sign"`, `"equal"`, `"koch"`	`"Placidus"`, `"whole_sign"`, `"WS"`
`ayanamsa` (KP)	Enum	`"kp-newcomb"` (default), `"kp-old"`, `"lahiri"`, `"custom"`	`"KP"`, `"New Comb"`, `"Lahiri"`
`nodeType`	Enum	`"true-node"`, `"mean-node"`	`"true"`, `"mean"`, `"True Node"`
`count` (tarot draw)	Integer 1 to 78	`3`, `10`, `78`	`0`, `79`, strings, floats
`mahadasha` (path)	Planet name	`"Ketu"`, `"Venus"`, `"Sun"`, `"Moon"`, `"Mars"`, `"Rahu"`, `"Jupiter"`, `"Saturn"`, `"Mercury"`	`"KETU"` (works, case-insensitive), `"ke"`, `"Ke-tu"`
`person1` / `person2`	Object with full birth data	`{ date, time, latitude, longitude, timezone }` (Western) or `{ date, time, latitude, longitude }` (Vedic)	Separate top-level fields, missing time, partial object
`question` (tarot / iching)	Optional string	`"Should I accept the job offer?"`, `"What should I focus on this week?"`	Leave undefined for general reading. More specific = better interpretation.
`year` / `month` / `day` (numerology)	Integer	`1990`, `1`, `15`	Zero-padded strings `"01"`, decimals, full dates

Timezone cheat sheet (most-asked locations)

Region	Decimal	Region	Decimal
UTC / London (winter)	`0`	Dubai	`4`
London (summer, BST)	`1`	Karachi	`5`
Berlin / Paris	`1` (winter) / `2` (summer)	Delhi / Mumbai (IST)	`5.5`
Istanbul	`3`	Kathmandu (NPT)	`5.75`
Moscow	`3`	Dhaka	`6`
Tehran	`3.5` (winter) / `4.5` (summer)	Bangkok	`7`
Adelaide	`9.5` (winter) / `10.5` (summer)	Singapore / Beijing	`8`
New York (EST / EDT)	`-5` / `-4`	Tokyo	`9`
Chicago (CST / CDT)	`-6` / `-5`	Sydney	`10` (winter) / `11` (summer)
Denver (MST / MDT)	`-7` / `-6`	Auckland	`12` (winter) / `13` (summer)
Los Angeles (PST / PDT)	`-8` / `-7`	Honolulu	`-10`

DST matters. If the birth date falls inside a daylight-saving window, use the summer / DST offset. For Vedic endpoints this is rarely an issue (most users are in India, fixed 5.5), but Western natal charts must respect DST at the time of birth.

Astrology domain gotchas for LLMs

LLMs hallucinate confidently in this category. These are the specific traps you will hit when writing client code:

Ayanamsa is server-side in Vedic. LLMs default to tropical / Western math. Vedic endpoints apply sidereal Lahiri ayanamsa server-side. KP endpoints accept ayanamsa of kp-newcomb (default), kp-old, lahiri, or custom. Do not try to "correct" server output by subtracting ayanamsa in client code.
Tithi count is 30, not 2. 15 Shukla (waxing) plus 15 Krishna (waning). Older LLM training data conflates Purnima and Amavasya as single tithis. Our panchang response carries a paksha field ("Shukla" or "Krishna") plus a tithi number, so there are 30 distinct tithis in a lunar month.
Rahu and Ketu are shadow points, not planets. They do not appear in a real ephemeris. Endpoints accept nodeType of true-node or mean-node to select which calculation to use.
Nakshatra count is 27. Abhijit is sometimes treated as a 28th in some schools, but this API uses the standard 27. roxy.vedicAstrology.listNakshatras() returns an array of length 27.
Retrograde is per-planet, not global. Natal chart planets and Vedic meta include isRetrograde: boolean per planet. KP planet lists use retrograde. Never generate "Mercury retrograde globally" UI copy, check the specific planet in the response.
Tarot reversals are a product choice. allowReversals: false on a tarot draw means no reversed cards in that draw, period. It is not cosmically meaningful, it is a config flag.
Angel number lookup works for any positive integer. Digit-root fallback covers non-canonical numbers. Do not generate validation logic that rejects anything other than 111 / 222 / 333.
Seed-based daily endpoints are DETERMINISTIC per (seed, date) pair. Same seed plus same date returns the same reading. This is by design for push-notification consistency. Do not describe it as "cached" or retry on stale responses.
Timezone affects Western calculations more than Vedic. Western natal charts must respect DST at the time of birth. Vedic endpoints default to IST (5.5) which is DST-free. Pass the IANA timezone string from the Location API response ("America/New_York", "Asia/Kolkata") directly to chart calls and the server resolves the DST-correct offset for the chart date. Decimal utcOffset (5.5, -5, ...) also works and produces an identical chart.

MCP equivalents

Every method has a matching MCP tool. The remote MCP server per domain is at https://roxyapi.com/mcp/{domain} (Streamable HTTP, no stdio / no self-hosting). Tool names follow {method}_{path_snake_case}, for example:

POST /astrology/natal-chart -> post_astrology_natal_chart on /mcp/astrology
GET /astrology/horoscope/{sign}/daily -> get_astrology_horoscope_sign_daily on /mcp/astrology
POST /vedic-astrology/birth-chart -> post_vedic_astrology_birth_chart on /mcp/vedic-astrology
POST /tarot/spreads/celtic-cross -> post_tarot_spreads_celtic_cross on /mcp/tarot

Use the SDK for typed TypeScript apps. Use MCP for AI agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor MCP, OpenAI agents) where the agent selects tools based on user intent.

Gotchas

Geocode first. Any chart, panchang, synastry, compatibility, or natal endpoint needs coordinates. Call roxy.location.searchCities before the chart method.
Parameters are objects, not positional. Always { path: {...} }, { body: {...} }, or { query: {...} }.
Do not guess method names. Type roxy.domain. and let autocomplete show them. Method names come from operationId in the OpenAPI spec, not URL paths.
Do not use raw fetch. The SDK handles auth, base URL, and typed responses.
Do not expose API keys client-side. Call Roxy from server code, API routes, or server components only.
Date format is YYYY-MM-DD, time is HH:MM:SS. Both are strings.
Western timezone is required and accepts either a decimal (-5 for EST, 5.5 for IST, 0 for UTC) or an IANA string ("America/New_York", "Asia/Kolkata", "UTC"). IANA is resolved to the DST-correct offset for the request date. Vedic endpoints accept an optional timezone that defaults to 5.5 (IST).
data and error are mutually exclusive. If error is set, data is undefined and vice versa.
Switch on error.code, not error.error. The message may change; the code is stable.
List endpoints may return paginated objects ({ items, total }) instead of raw arrays. Check the type.
