Branded Python Namespace

OpAstro now ships a branded import namespace in:

  • src/opastro/__init__.py

You can import the SDK in any of these styles:

import opastro as oa

service = oa.HoroscopeService(oa.ServiceConfig())
print(oa.__version__)
from opastro import HoroscopeService, ServiceConfig, HoroscopeRequest, Period
from datetime import date

service = HoroscopeService(ServiceConfig())
response = service.generate(
    HoroscopeRequest(period=Period.DAILY, sign="ARIES", target_date=date(2026, 4, 3))
)
print(response.sign, response.period.value)

Module imports are also supported:

from opastro.config import ServiceConfig
from opastro.models import HoroscopeRequest, Period
from opastro.service import HoroscopeService

Python Library Examples

1) Basic Daily Report (Sign Mode)

from datetime import date

from opastro.config import ServiceConfig
from opastro.models import HoroscopeRequest, Period
from opastro.service import HoroscopeService

service = HoroscopeService(ServiceConfig())

response = service.generate(
    HoroscopeRequest(
        period=Period.DAILY,
        sign="ARIES",
        target_date=date(2026, 4, 3),
    )
)

print(response.report_type.value, response.sign, response.period.value)
for section in response.sections:
    print(f"[{section.section.value}] {section.summary}")

2) Personalized Report (Birth + Coordinates)

from datetime import date

from opastro.config import ServiceConfig
from opastro.models import BirthData, Coordinates, HoroscopeRequest, Period
from opastro.service import HoroscopeService

service = HoroscopeService(ServiceConfig())

response = service.generate(
    HoroscopeRequest(
        period=Period.WEEKLY,
        target_date=date(2026, 4, 3),
        birth=BirthData(
            date=date(1997, 8, 17),
            time="09:30",
            coordinates=Coordinates(latitude=4.0511, longitude=9.7679),
            timezone="Africa/Douala",
        ),
    )
)

print(response.sign)
print(response.data.snapshot.rising_sign)
print(response.data.snapshot.house_cusps)

3) Planet-Focused Report

from datetime import date

from opastro.config import ServiceConfig
from opastro.models import Period, PlanetHoroscopeRequest, PlanetName
from opastro.service import HoroscopeService

service = HoroscopeService(ServiceConfig())

response = service.generate_planet(
    PlanetHoroscopeRequest(
        period=Period.MONTHLY,
        planet=PlanetName.MERCURY,
        sign="TAURUS",
        target_date=date(2026, 4, 3),
    )
)

print(response.report_type.value)
print(response.sections[0].title)

4) JSON Serialization

from datetime import date

from opastro.config import ServiceConfig
from opastro.models import HoroscopeRequest, Period
from opastro.service import HoroscopeService

service = HoroscopeService(ServiceConfig())
payload = service.generate(
    HoroscopeRequest(period=Period.DAILY, sign="LEO", target_date=date(2026, 4, 3))
).model_dump(mode="json")

print(payload["report_type"], payload["period"], payload["sign"])
