Mercury Retrograde API
ScienceA Quick Guide to the Mercury Retrograde API
Are you tired of constantly experiencing disruptions in communication, plans, and technology during Mercury retrograde? Well, the Mercury Retrograde API can help you access the current phase of the dreaded retrograde cycle.
Here's a quick guide on how to use the API in JavaScript.
API Endpoints
Current Status Endpoint
This endpoint retrieves the current Mercury retrograde phase - either "retrograde", "direct", or "shadow":
https://mercuryretrogradeapi.com/api?date=today
Date Status Endpoint
This endpoint retrieves the Mercury retrograde phase on a specific date. Replace "YYYY/MM/DD" with the desired date:
https://mercuryretrogradeapi.com/api?date=YYYY/MM/DD
Example API Code
Fetch Request
To make API requests in JavaScript, we can use the fetch method:
fetch("https://mercuryretrogradeapi.com/api?date=today")
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data.phase))
.catch(error => console.error(error));
Axios Request
Alternatively, we can use the axios library to make requests:
axios.get("https://mercuryretrogradeapi.com/api?date=today")
.then(response => console.log(response.data.phase))
.catch(error => console.error(error));
jQuery Request
We can also use the $.get method in jQuery:
$.get("https://mercuryretrogradeapi.com/api?date=today", function(data) {
console.log(data.phase);
});
Request a Specific Date
To retrieve the Mercury retrograde phase on a specific date, we can replace the date parameter with the desired date:
fetch("https://mercuryretrogradeapi.com/api?date=2022/03/05")
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data.phase))
.catch(error => console.error(error));
Now you have the power to access the Mercury retrograde phase with just a few lines of JavaScript code. Happy coding!
