# astroway_calendar_planetary_hours

Chaldean planetary hours for a date and place: 12 from sunrise to sunset and 12 from sunset to sunrise, so an hour is rarely 60 minutes. startHour and endHour are decimal local hours. Send atLocalHour (decimal local time, e.g. 15.2 for 15:12) to have the hour containing it marked isCurrent; without it no hour carries the field, because the answer is cacheable and a flag from the server clock would be stale by the time it renders. [Group: Calendar & Cycles] [Endpoint: POST /v1/planetary-hours] [Required: date, latitude, longitude] [Cost: 10 credits (Tier 1)]
