small

cgi-bin/small.pl returns a smaller version of the XML-output from cgi-bin/short.pl.

USAGE `cgi-bin/small.pl`:

Parameters

The following parameters are supported:

lat (latitude), in decimal degrees, mandatory
lon (longtitude), in decimal degrees, mandatory
height altitude above ellipsoide, in km (default 0)
date given as YYYY-MM-DD, mandatory
offset timezone offset, on the format +HH:MM or -HH:MM mandatory
days number of days forward to include (default 1, max 15)

Example URLs

New York (test), Blindern-Oslo without DST (test), polar midsummer in Novaya Zemlya, start of polar night in Hopen-Svalbard (test).

Output format

See also https://github.com/FrankThomasTveter/astro-api/wiki/event for more info on returned values Output format

In contrast to previous versions, the new XML format only contains event that actually are occuring. This means that sunrise/sunset may not occur in polar regions, and there may be 0, 1 or 2 moonrise/moonsets.

The data are sorted per location and time. For each date, 0..n of the following elements may be included (attributes given in parens), sorted chronologically:

sunrise (time)
sunset (time)
solarnoon (time, elevation, azimuth, visible)
solarmidnight (time, elevation, azimuth, visible)
moonphase (time, value), value representing:

0..25: "waxing crescent" 25..50: "waxing gibbous" 50..75: "waning gibbous" 75..100: "waning crescent"
moonshadow (time,iangle,cangle)

iangle (incidence angle): -90="100% shadow", 0="50% shadow", 90="0% shadow"

cangle (clock angle): 0="sun up", 90="sun right", 180="sun down",270="sun left"
moonposition (time, elevation, azimuth, range)
moonrise (time, azimuth, illumination)
moonset (time, azimuth, illumination)
high_moon (time, elevation, azimuth, visible, illumination)
low_moon (time, elevation, azimuth, visible, illumination)
polardayend (time)
polardaystart (time)
polarnightend (time)
polarnightstart (time)
