GET/v1/tarot/card-of-the-day

Card of the Day

Returns a deterministic daily tarot card. The same card is returned for all requests on the same date — seeded by SHA-256 hash of the date string. Optionally provide a date (YYYY-MM-DD) to get the card for any day. "Today" is the current date in UTC unless you pass timezone (the caller's IANA zone, e.g. Asia/Kolkata) or an explicit date.
