Quick Start
Note: Make sure you already have the API Key and Access Token required to make API requests. If not, you can generate a new API Key and Access Token by signing up for a trial subscription. You will also need the Postman tool which you can get free from here.
- 1.Open Postman on your computer.
- 2.Select the HTTP method as POST. We are going to use this API - /find-nivas-and-shool
- 3.Copy the full API URL and paste as below

- 1.Go to the Auth tab of Postman.
- 2.Since all the APIs use Basic Auth, we will use Basic Auth from the Type select box.
- 3.Now, enter the Access Token.

- 1.Now, go to the Body tab of Postman.
- 2.Follow the request parameters from the API doc and add them one by one as shown below:

Once you have set up everything as mentioned above, you can call the API using the Send button. You will receive a response in JSON format as shown below.

Your API requests are authenticated using API key and Authorization Token. Any request that doesn't include an API key or Token will return an error.
You can generate an API Access Token from your Dashboard at any time.
To make your first request, send an authenticated request to the find nakshatra endpoint. This will return you data for
nakshatra
