The API offers developers the ability to determine the exact position of the sun in the sky at any place and time, as well as the sunrise and sunset times, its azimuth angles, and altitude.
One of the main advantages of the Sun Finder API is that it allows developers to create location-aware applications that provide users with customized information based on their current location. For example, a health app could use the API to determine the best time of day for a user to go for a run based on the current position of the sun and weather conditions. A photography app could use the API to help users find the best lighting conditions for their photos based on the position of the sun in the sky.
Sun Finder API is based on the RESTful web services architecture and is designed to be used by a wide range of developers, from beginners to experts. It supports a variety of programming languages, such as Java, Python, and Ruby, and can be easily integrated into a wide range of applications, such as mobile applications, web applications, and desktop applications.
Overall, Sun Finder API is a powerful tool that allows developers to add advanced location features to their applications. With its powerful features and easy-to-use interface, it is an ideal choice for developers who want to create innovative and engaging applications that take advantage of the latest location technologies.
It will receive parameters and provide you with a JSON.
Solar: The Sun Seeker API can be used to determine the optimal location and orientation of solar panels based on the position of the sun and the angle of incidence of sunlight.
Photography: The API can help photographers find the best time of day and location to capture a specific shot based on the angle of the sun and the quality of light.
Agriculture: It can be used to help farmers determine the best time of day and the best location for planting based on the position of the sun and weather conditions.
Outdoor activities: The API can help users plan outdoor activities, such as hiking or camping, by providing information on the position of the sun and moon, as well as weather conditions.
Architecture: It can be used in architectural design to help determine the optimal orientation and position of buildings based on the position of the sun.

The "Get sun position" endpoint returns data related to the sun's position, specifically the azimuth and elevation angles. This information helps users understand the sun's location in the sky at a given time and place.
The key fields in the response data are "azimuth," which indicates the compass direction of the sun, and "elevation," which shows the sun's height above the horizon, both provided as floating-point numbers.
The primary parameter for the "Get sun position" endpoint is the longitude of the location for which the solar position is requested. Users can customize their requests by including latitude and time parameters as well.
The response data is organized in JSON format, with key-value pairs representing the azimuth and elevation angles. This structure allows for easy parsing and integration into applications.
Typical use cases include optimizing solar panel placement, planning photography sessions based on lighting conditions, and scheduling outdoor activities by understanding sun positioning throughout the day.
Data accuracy is maintained through the use of astronomical algorithms that calculate the sun's position based on precise geographic coordinates and time, ensuring reliable results for various applications.
The accepted parameter values for longitude are numerical values representing degrees, ranging from -180 to 180. Users should ensure the value corresponds to the desired geographic location.
Users can utilize the returned azimuth and elevation data to make informed decisions about outdoor activities, optimize solar energy collection, or enhance photography by selecting the best times and angles for their needs.

To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
