Passing hijri month and year to the calendar method does not work

PrecisionWordcraft

Hi all, I'm new to the API.

I am trying to return a month's worth of prayer times for my latitude and longitude using the hijri month and year.

The API documentation says I should be able to do this, and accepts only numbers for year and month.

Here's my request:

GET http://api.aladhan.com/v1/calendar/1446/4?latitude=37.15823023755146&longitude=-3.5365462319476104&method=1&timezonestring=Europe/Madrid

And here's the initial part of the response, showing Gregorian date info:

{
"code": 200,
"status": "OK",
"data": [
{
"timings": {
"Fajr": "04:17 (LMT)",
"Sunrise": "05:46 (LMT)",
"Dhuhr": "12:03 (LMT)",
"Asr": "15:37 (LMT)",
"Sunset": "18:21 (LMT)",
"Maghrib": "18:21 (LMT)",
"Isha": "19:50 (LMT)",
"Imsak": "04:07 (LMT)",
"Midnight": "00:04 (LMT)",
"Firstthird": "22:10 (LMT)",
"Lastthird": "01:58 (LMT)"
},
"date": {
"readable": "01 Apr 1446",
"timestamp": "-16528027455",
"gregorian": {
"date": "01-04-1446",
"format": "DD-MM-YYYY",
"day": "01",
"weekday": {
"en": "Wednesday"
},
...

Yes, you can do this, but you need to use the hijriCalendar endpoint. https://aladhan.com/prayer-times-api#tag/Monthly-Annual-Prayer-Times-Calendar/paths/~1v1~1hijriCalendar~1%7Byear%7D~1%7Bmonth%7D/get.

meezaan yes, Jazak Allah Khairan, but the documentation needs update because it says you could provide either.

meywd Ahlan wa sahlan. Either of what @meywd ? I don't think I understand what you are saying. https://aladhan.com/prayer-times-api#tag/Daily-Prayer-Times/paths/~1v1~1timings~1%7Bdate%7D/get makes no mention of a month but https://aladhan.com/prayer-times-api#tag/Monthly-Annual-Prayer-Times-Calendar/paths/~1v1~1hijriCalendar~1%7Byear%7D~1%7Bmonth%7D/get specifically mentions month and year.

meezaan if you check the under the month and year parameters it says "A gregroian or hijri calendar month"
this is for both http://api.aladhan.com/v1/calendarByCity/{year}/{month and http://api.aladhan.com/v1/hijriCalendarByCity/{year}/{month} and other calendar APIs.

meywd Got it, thank you. Will update it soon!
