Setup

Home Assistant consumes azanAPI as a standard HTTP client. The API remains independent of Home Assistant and does not include a custom integration.

Before adding YAML, verify the API from the Home Assistant host:

curl --get https://api.aakashsharma.com.np/api/v1/prayer-times \
  --data-urlencode latitude=25.2048 \
  --data-urlencode longitude=55.2708 \
  --data-urlencode timezone=Asia/Dubai \
  --data-urlencode calculation_method=iacad_dubai

The command uses the public production API. For a self-hosted instance, use a reachable LAN address, DNS name, or container hostname instead. 127.0.0.1 is usually incorrect when Home Assistant and azanAPI run in separate containers or hosts.

The API timezone should match Home Assistant’s configured timezone when using the time-only values in automations. Use azan_times for call-to-prayer scheduling and calculated_times for astronomical display.
