Hand Type

You must provide a valid palm_id to call this API. How to get Palm ID →
The Hand Type API explains the overall form and elemental character of the hand stored under the palm_id. It returns details such as palm shape, associated element, skin_texture, and elasticity.

In traditional palmistry, the hand shape forms the broad foundation of the reading. An elemental classification such as Earth helps describe the general nature of the hand before individual lines and mounts are studied in detail.

This API forms the first structural layer of the palm reading. It gives a concise hand-profile section that can sit before the deeper line, finger, and mount analysis.
