  title: AsterNym Reading API
  version: 1.3.0
  summary: Birth-chart readings, BaZi, numerology and zodiac engines for AI agents and the people they work for.
  description: 'Public, read-only, keyless. No site-owner approval, account or key is required; that permission covers nothing involving private data, payments or account state, and nothing about an agent''s obligations to its own human. Same engine as every page on asternym.com. Not cached: every call counts toward the fair-use limit of 60 a minute per address, which is shared across every endpoint here. Prefer POST so birth details stay out of URLs and access logs. The same tools are available over MCP at https://asternym.com/mcp (streamable HTTP, no key). Terms are returned inside every response and at https://asternym.com/for-agents.'
