Your First Request: Calculate Life Path Number

The Life Path Number is one of the most important numbers in numerology. Here's how to calculate it using the GET endpoint.

Python Example

import requests

url = "https://the-numerology-api.p.rapidapi.com/life_path"

# Example: Birth date May 15, 1990
querystring = {
    "birth_year": "1990",
    "birth_month": "5",
    "birth_day": "15"
}

headers = {
    "X-RapidAPI-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE",
    "X-RapidAPI-Host": "the-numerology-api.p.rapidapi.com"
}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params=querystring)

if response.status_code == 200:
    data = response.json()
    print(f"Life Path Number: {data['life_path_number']}")
    print(f"Summary: {data['summary']}")
    print(f"Detailed Meaning: {data['detailed_meaning']}")
else:
    print(f"Error: {response.status_code} - {response.text}")

Expected Output (for 1990-05-15): 

{
  "life_path_number": 11,
  "summary": "The life path number 11 is a master number that represents intuition, spirituality, and enlightenment...",
  "detailed_meaning": "Master Number 11 represents intuition, inspiration, and spiritual insight..."
}

JavaScript (Fetch) Example

const url = "https://the-numerology-api.p.rapidapi.com/life_path";

const options = {
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    'X-RapidAPI-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE',
    'X-RapidAPI-Host': 'the-numerology-api.p.rapidapi.com'
  },
  // Query parameters
  // Add as URL search params
};

fetch(`${url}?birth_year=1990&birth_month=5&birth_day=15`, options)
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));

POST Request Alternative (JSON Body)

Many endpoints support both GET and POST. Here's the POST version for Life Path:

payload = {
    "birth_year": 1990,
    "birth_month": 5,
    "birth_day": 15
}

response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)
