/v1/kp/chartKp · Chart API
KP chart with cuspal sub-lord chain.
About the engine
Part of the KP engine
The Krishnamurti Paddhati (KP) engine resolves the four-level lord chain - sign, star, sub, sub-sub - at every cusp. Includes the canonical horary 1–249 lookup with cuspal sub-lord judgement, planet/house significator endpoints, and a transit-to-natal analyzer.

Response
What you get back
Every AstroNode response uses the same envelope: request_id, data (the endpoint-specific payload), interpretation (optional narrative block), and meta (engine version + computed_at timestamp). This endpoint documents 200, 400, 401, 429.
The data payload for POST /v1/kp/chart is not yet broken out field by field in the published schema. The fastest way to see its exact shape is to run the call - the playground returns a live response with no signup, and the API reference carries the full document.
