Latitude Field Range Restriction - API Call Returns 500 Error

Question

I've identified a bug in the API. When using latitude values outside the -66 to 66 degrees range, it triggers a 500 Internal Server Error. This behavior appears to be a bug, as it is prevents the processing and generation of birthcharts with longitudes outside of this range.

Requesting your assistance on:

Confirming and resolving this bug.
Providing an interim workaround if available.

Immediate attention to this matter would greatly aid our project.

Hi,

Thank you for your prompt response and for addressing the issue so efficiently. The adjustment to default latitudes outside the -66 to 66 range to 66 makes perfect sense, and I appreciate the link for a detailed explanation about polar latitudes. Your assistance is invaluable, and I'm grateful for your readiness to provide further clarification if needed.

Best regards,

Chris

Hi, 
I've just fixed the issue.
Now if the subject latitude is outside the -66 <-> 66 range (eg. 70) it will automatically default to 66. That should have been the standard behaviour of the code, there was a bug preventing it in some situation.
The reason why you can not have a latitude in the poles is explained here in detail:

Hope it helps.

Thank you for reporting the bug and sorry for the inconvenience.
Remain at your disposal for any need for clarification
