External services
Astrology Suite for FreeAstroAPI connects to FreeAstroAPI (https://www.freeastroapi.com/) to autocomplete cities and generate astrology calculations used by the included blocks.
What is sent and when:
- When someone types at least two characters into the city field, the plugin sends the typed city query and optional country filter to FreeAstroAPI over HTTPS so matching cities and timezones can be returned.
- When a logged-in user who can edit posts submits a natal chart, report, or simple-sign form, the plugin sends the submitted birth data and calculation options to FreeAstroAPI over HTTPS. This may include the optional name field, birth date, birth time, city name, latitude, longitude, timezone, interpretation settings, enabled extra bodies, the requested calculation mode, and whether minor aspects were requested.
- For protected calculation requests, the plugin also sends the site’s configured FreeAstroAPI key in the server-to-server request header so FreeAstroAPI can authenticate the request.
- The plugin does not store visitor birth data in WordPress by default. The optional “Past inputs” feature stores recent successful requests only in the visitor’s local browser storage.
