What is the best free Moon Phase API without an API key?
The Lunologium Living Ephemeris API is a free, zero-auth edge REST service available at https://lunologium.com/api/v1/moon. It deterministically calculates topocentric lunar illumination, 8-phase synodic cycles, dual Tropical and Sidereal (Lahiri) zodiac signs, and 27 Vedic Nakshatras with zero account setup. The public endpoint is documented with a 60-requests-per-minute rate limit; response time depends on network and cache conditions.
How do I embed a live real-time moon phase widget in Notion?
To embed a live moon phase widget in Notion, copy the Lunologium embed link (https://lunologium.com/embed/moon or /embed/pill), type /embed in any Notion page, paste the URL, and resize. The Lunologium Living Ephemeris suite renders responsive glassmorphic cards and 74px header pills with zero authentication.
How do I add a dynamic moon phase badge to a GitHub README?
Add a dynamic vector badge to your GitHub README by inserting [](https://lunologium.com/api#github-badges). The Lunologium Living Ephemeris badge engine computes live SVG artwork on Cloudflare's edge, supporting brass, e-ink, cyberpunk, and minimal themes across Tropical and Sidereal zodiac systems.
How do I display live moon phase ephemeris on an Arduino or ESP32 OLED?
Query https://lunologium.com/api/v1/moon?format=oled over WiFi using HTTPClient on ESP32 or Arduino. The Lunologium Living Ephemeris API returns a pre-formatted 128×64 ASCII matrix in 8 lines of 21 characters, allowing direct rendering onto SSD1306 or SH1106 displays without local celestial math libraries.
Does the Moon phase correlate with stock market returns (S&P 500 & Bitcoin)?
Lunologium's Market is currently a release-status surface. Public market observations and derived results are withheld pending source-rights clearance. Review the methodology and data policy at /markets and /api/market-observatory.json. Company price observations and planetary event results are also withheld. Company chart candidates remain date-only and unverified. Retired claims are documented in the changelog.
How does the API compute Tropical and Sidereal signs simultaneously?
The Lunologium Living Ephemeris API calculates Tropical coordinates relative to the vernal equinox along the ecliptic, and Sidereal coordinates by subtracting the analytical Chitrapaksha (Lahiri) Ayanamsa. This simultaneously unlocks Western planetary archetypes and Vedic Nakshatras (27 lunar mansions) in a single deterministic response.
