5. How to change the House System Code
To follow the instructions for selecting and applying a house system code in the Divine API, here’s a step-by-step guide.
Navigate to the API Documentation:
- Go to the Western API section within your Divine API documentation.
Select the House System Code:
- Under Western API, click the dropdown of Natal Astrology.
- In this section, you’ll find a dropdown list labeled House System Codes. Expand this list to view the available house system codes, such as "P" for Placidus, "K" for Koch, and so on.
Choose the Appropriate House System:
- Review the list and select the house system code that suits your requirements.
- For example, if you prefer the Placidus system, use code P.
Enter the Code in Postman:
- In Postman, open the Body tab for the API request you are configuring.
- Find the house_system parameter, and input the selected code (e.g., "P" for Placidus) in the Text field next to it.
By following these steps, you can apply the desired house system code in your API request. The default system is Placidus (P) unless specified otherwise.
