https://api.freeastroapi.com/api/v2/vedic/muhurat/personalized-searchSafe retries with Idempotency-Key
Authenticated, billable astrology POST requests accept the optional header Idempotency-Key: <client-generated unique operation key>. Reuse the same key only when retrying the exact same method, path, query string, and JSON body after a timeout or network failure.
A completed replay returns the first response with Idempotency-Replayed: true, does not rerun the calculation, and does not consume extra quota. Keys are retained for about 24 hours.
Reusing a key with a changed request returns 409 idempotency_key_reused. A duplicate while the first request is still running returns 409 request_in_progress with Retry-After.
What It Returns
A personalized Muhurat payload with ranked windows, an exact best_moment when strict rules pass, raw and public score semantics, explanation text, rejected windows, avoid moments, and selection metadata.

}FAQ
How is this different from public Muhurat search?
The endpoint first generates public candidate windows, then applies the subject birth chart. Strict purposes sample clean segments, cast event charts, reject disallowed moments, and return an exact best_moment when one passes the purpose rules.
Which purposes currently use strict best-moment selection?
Strict personalized selection is implemented for vehicle_purchase, property_purchase, griha_pravesh, namkaran, and mundan. Each rule pack uses purpose-specific emphasis, such as 4th house and Venus for vehicle, land stability factors for property, house-entry rules for Griha Pravesh, and child-samskara factors for Namkaran and Mundan.
Why can best_moment be null even when public windows exist?
A public window can fail personalized or electional rules after chart sampling. For strict purposes, the response keeps rejected_windows and selection_explanation so developers and astrologers can see whether the failure came from Tara Bala, Chandra Bala, Lagna, avoid-period overlap, malefic pressure, or purpose-specific blocks.
What does high-plan next_no_compromise do?
search_mode=next_no_compromise is a high-plan scan currently limited to Griha Pravesh. It searches up to scan_months, capped at three months, for a no-compromise moment instead of only ranking the supplied date range.
Should subject.tz_str be included?
Usually no when subject lat and lng are present. The API defaults to AUTO timezone resolution. Include subject.tz_str only for exact reproducibility, an intentional timezone override, or special historical handling such as LMT.
