Body Position

Calculating the position of the Sun, Moon, and stars

The body-position end point calculates the position of one or more bodies (e.g. the Sun, and/or Moon) at a given time, or over a given time range and interval.

The general form of a call to this end point is as follows:

axios({
	"method": "GET",
	"url": "https://api.radiantdrift.com/body-position/DATE_TIME_FROM",
 	"params": {
		"body": "[BODIES]"
	},
})

curl "https://api.radiantdrift.com/body-position/DATE_TIME_FROM/?body=BODIES"

Specific examples are given in the following sections.
