Moon Position API

Moon Position calculates the moon's altitude in the sky for any latitude and longitude coordinates. Provide an optional time of day to determine lunar elevation; paid plans add custom dates, azimuth, and distance.

The Moon Position API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate moon position functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready moon position capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.

        const response = await fetch(`https://api.apiverve.com/v1/moonposition?${params}`, {
            method: 'GET',
            headers: {
                'x-api-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
            }
        });

        const data = await response.json();
        console.log(data);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error:', error);
    }
}

callMoonPositionAPI();
