Sun position API
The Sun Position API Actor provides real-time solar positioning data and calculations for any location and time on Earth. This Actor computes precise astronomical information, including sun elevation, azimuth angles, sunrise and sunset times, solar noon, and twilight periods using advanced celestial mechanics algorithms.
Key features
- Accurate solar coordinate calculations with sub-degree precision
- Support for any global coordinates with automatic timezone detection
- Historical and future sun position data for any date range
- Comprehensive solar metrics including day length, golden hour timing, and seasonal variations
- Multiple output formats including JSON, CSV, and XML
- Batch processing capabilities for multiple locations simultaneously
Target audience
This API serves solar energy engineers designing photovoltaic systems and solar panel installations, photographers and filmmakers planning shoots around optimal lighting conditions, architects and urban planners analyzing building shadows and natural lighting, agriculture specialists optimizing crop exposure, and mobile app developers building weather or outdoor activity applications.
Benefits
The Sun Position API eliminates complex astronomical calculations from development workflows, ensures accurate solar data for professional applications, reduces project planning time through precise sunrise and sunset predictions, and enables informed decisions for solar-dependent industries. It provides reliable API infrastructure with global coverage and historical accuracy.
