Astrology API

[Guy Madison]

I'm having problems figuring out how to create an astrology app that accesses an api. My app will provide the spots for entering d.o.b., time of birth, BUT i don't know about city of birth as well as how to connect my app to it. I have done the 'stock market' app but that wasn't complex enough. Please help.

What is the api for the astrology web site and what are the parameters that are supported by the api?

Once you know that, you can use the Web component to query for the information that you need.

Appending the values entered by the user to the url which is passed to the api may be as simple as using the Text join block

Telling the app to get the result may be as simple as including a Web Get block and GotText block.

May be. That's my problem. I don't know where to get access to an astrology api. I see other apps and they have text boxes for d.o.b, time, AND city, state. I don't see a component in ai2 for city and state. I know i will probably have to have an example in the hint spot, but i still need access to an astrology api.
