About Days on Earth
Hello.
Select your date of birth - or any other date - and DoE will show you how many days you have been on this earth.
It will also show you on what date you will reach a few significant numbers of days.
If you select a date in the future, it will show the number of days we will have to wait for that day.
Once you have selected a date you can copy the URL to share your date with anybody you like.
API
There is a simple HTTP API for you to fetch information for use somewhere else. You can use this to show your Days on Earth on a dashboard or your mobile device.
All requests described below go to http://days-on-earth.com/api/…
Days
http://days-on-earth.com/api/YYYY/MM/DD
Returns just your number of Days on Earth. By default it will return this simple JSON format:
URL: http://days-on-earth.com/api/1981/11/22 Result: {"days":12774}
If you want to get just the number without any additional text around it, add ?format=plain
, like this:
URL: http://days-on-earth.com/api/1981/11/22?format=plain Result: 12774
There is an additional special formatting option for using DoE numbers with the iOS app Numerics:
URL: http://days-on-earth.com/api/1981/11/22?format=numerics Result: {"data":{"value":12774},"postfix":"days"}
When adding a widget to your dashboard, choose "Custom JSON" -> "Number from JSON data" as the type, then just put the proper URL into the field "JSON URL". Everything else is optional.
You can even modify the postfix
string:
URL: http://days-on-earth.com/api/1981/11/22?format=numerics&postfix=since%20my%20birth Result: {"data":{"value":12774},"postfix":"since my birth"}

.
URL: http://days-on-earth.com/api/1981/11/22/when/20000 Result: {"date":"2036-08-24"}
The same format
