Source over authority
Data, reference state and maturity are exposed so developers can evaluate evidence instead of relying on an unnamed authority.

About the API Platform
A Sindhi-first astronomical software platform that publishes structured services for public applications, research, education and machine intelligence.
Mission
Make astronomical knowledge computable in Sindhi contexts.
Astro Sindhi Observatory connects solar and lunar calculations, sky observation, traditional Sindhi time concepts, Sindhu Sambat, terminology and scientific validation through public JSON APIs.
The platform is designed for shared-hosting efficiency: bounded cron refreshes, last-good snapshots, edge caching, machine-readable freshness and lightweight file-based architecture.
Principles
How the platform is built
Freshness is part of correctness
Date-bearing APIs publish validity metadata and are prevented from serving yesterday’s data as current.
Research status is explicit
Stable, Research and Validation labels communicate the operational and scientific maturity of every service.
Open data, maintainable software
Public data can be reused with attribution while the production engines remain protected and maintainable.
Sindhi-first language engineering
Traditional terms and public-facing Sindhi language are maintained through a reviewable language registry and glossary.
Small-origin architecture
Cloudflare caching, ETags and generated snapshots protect shared hosting from avoidable computation and polling.
Governance
Platform stewardship
The API platform is developed through SindhiLanguage.org as part of the Astro Sindhi Observatory scientific software initiative.
