Crystals API, what to build and how to call it

Ship a crystal-by-zodiac page, a chakra stone finder, or a daily crystal widget in under 15 minutes.

Crystal retail and metaphysical shops use this to build "crystals for [zodiac]" and "[chakra] chakra stones" pages. Those two URL patterns are the highest-volume crystal queries on Google. The Roxy crystal catalog covers properties, chakras, zodiac associations, colors, affirmations, and pairings across 80+ stones.

What you can build with this

  • Crystal recommendation features filtered by zodiac or chakra
  • Birthstone pages by month (evergreen gift and jewelry SEO)
  • Crystal encyclopedia apps with search
  • Wellness and meditation features that surface a stone of the day

What you need, 30 seconds

  1. A Roxy API key. Get one on the pricing page.
  2. Nothing else. All crystal content is GET.

Step 1, call your first endpoint

The #1 crystal call is by zodiac. crystals for Pisces and its 11 siblings drive the highest search volume in the domain. Pick a language.

curl "https://roxyapi.com/api/v2/crystals/zodiac/pisces" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $ROXY_API_KEY"

Step 2, render it to the user

A crystal grid is the simplest viable UI. Name, image, chakra tag, and the top property keywords.

export function CrystalGrid({ crystals }: { crystals: any[] }) {
  return (
    <ul className="grid grid-cols-3 gap-4">
      {crystals.map(c => (
        <li key={c.id}>
          <img src={c.imageUrl} alt={c.name} />
          <h3>{c.name}</h3>
          <small>{c.chakra} chakra</small>
          <p>{c.properties.join(' · ')}</p>
        </li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  );
}

Step 3, ship the rest

By chakra, the second-highest query pattern

GET /crystals/chakra/{chakra} returns stones for a given chakra (root, sacral, solar-plexus, heart, throat, third-eye, crown). Wellness and meditation content.

Birthstone by month, evergreen SEO

GET /crystals/birthstone/{month} takes a month number (1 to 12) and returns the birthstone or birthstones for that month. Works for gift-guide and jewelry-app features.

Search, chatbot-friendly

GET /crystals/search?q={term} is free-text lookup. Use this when an AI agent needs to find stones by intent ("crystals for anxiety", "crystals for luck").

See the full list at the Crystals API reference.

Gotchas

  • Zodiac and chakra paths are case-insensitive. pisces, Pisces, PISCES all work. Lowercase kebab-case is the canonical form.
  • Chakra names with spaces are hyphenated. Use third-eye, not third eye or thirdEye.
  • lang controls the content language. Crystal interpretations are translated into 8 languages, pass ?lang=tr for Turkish, ?lang=es for Spanish.
  • List endpoints return { crystals: [], ... }. The top-level object has pagination fields, the array is in crystals.
