Hi, I'm looking forward to using this API, looks great !
Quick question, I know someone has already asked regarding historical data, but I was wondering if a specific forward date could be passed to get the moons phase at a future date - I would have thought in theory this would be possible as you provide this infomation in deep detail (i.e. Calendar, Advanced), but would be useful if we could just provide a Lat, Long & Date with a response of the phase name ?
Many thanks,
Dan.

Hi Luke,
Many thanks for even considering this !
I’d say similar to what you already return on the “Moon” Key in the Advanced API Call - That key provides a lot of data that is really helpfull (i.e. age_days, stage, phase_name, lunar_cycle, etc.).
Calling the API with a date param similar to this:-
https://moon-phase.p.rapidapi.com/future?lat=59.4768&lon=-0.0004&datestamp=xxxxx
And just returning that key, should provide all the details I could want.
Again, many thanks for looking into doing this,
Dan.
Hey Dan,
Thanks for reaching out! Adding the capability to retrieve the moon phase for a specific forward date sounds like a useful feature to explore. We currently offer detailed moon phase information, so extending this to include future dates seems feasible.
To ensure we’re aligned on what you’re looking for, could you share your thoughts on what the response payload should look like? Any specific details or formats you have in mind would be helpful for us to consider as we plan this enhancement.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Luke @ Moon-API.com
