Add astrological calculations to any WordPress page or post via shortcodes or Gutenberg blocks. Powered by api.astroway.info \u2014 700+ endpoints covering Western, Vedic, Hellenistic, Chinese, Mayan astrology + Tarot (Rider-Waite, Marseille, Lenormand) + Numerology (Pythagorean, Chaldean, Kabbalistic, Tamil) + Human Design + AI horoscopes.<\/p>\n\n

Works without an API key<\/strong> in anonymous mode (30 requests\/hour per visitor IP). Get a free API key at api.astroway.info\/dashboard\/sign-up for 10,000 credits\/month and higher rate limits.<\/p>\n\n

External services<\/h3>\n\n

This plugin connects to api.astroway.info<\/strong>, the AstroWay Calculation API operated by the AstroWay Team, to render astrology widgets and tarot readings. No external request is made until a widget is actually rendered on a page where one of the plugin's shortcodes or Gutenberg blocks is used.<\/p>\n\n

What is sent:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • When a natal chart, bodygraph, or transit widget renders: the parameters provided in the shortcode (date, time, latitude, longitude) plus the visitor's IP address (for anonymous rate-limiting).<\/li>\n
  • When a daily horoscope, moon phase, or daily tarot widget renders: the zodiac sign or deck identifier plus the visitor's IP address.<\/li>\n
  • When the site administrator clicks \"Verify Key\" or \"Test Connection\" in the Settings screen: the configured API key and a small diagnostics payload.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    When this happens:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • On frontend page render (only on pages where an AstroWay shortcode or block is present).<\/li>\n
    • On explicit admin action (Verify, Test Connection, Purge Cache).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      No data is sent on plugin activation, deactivation, or admin pages without explicit user action.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

        \n
      • Service URL: https:\/\/api.astroway.info\/v1\/<\/code><\/li>\n

        Privacy<\/h3>\n\n

        This plugin stores the following on the WordPress site:<\/p>\n\n

          \n
        • The site administrator's API key (if entered), stored in the wp_options<\/code> table under astroway_settings<\/code>. Visible only to users with manage_options<\/code> capability.<\/li>\n
        • WP transient cache of API responses (prefix astroway_v1_<\/code>) to reduce repeat external calls. Cache contents are chart\/horoscope\/tarot output \u2014 no visitor PII beyond what was submitted via shortcode arguments. Purged via Settings \u2192 AstroWay \u2192 Purge Cache.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

          This plugin does not set any cookies on visitor browsers, does not use third-party tracking, and does not transmit visitor data to anyone other than api.astroway.info (see External services above).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Upload the plugin via Plugins \u2192 Add New, or unzip into \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>.<\/li>\n
          2. Activate through the Plugins menu.<\/li>\n
          3. (Optional) Settings \u2192 AstroWay \u2192 paste your API key for higher rate limits and Pro features.<\/li>\n
          4. Add a shortcode to any page: [astroway_natal date=\"1990-05-15\" time=\"14:30\" lat=\"50.45\" lon=\"30.52\"]<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
            \n

            Do I need an API key?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            No. The plugin works without a key in anonymous mode (30 requests\/hour per visitor IP). For higher limits and Pro features, get a free key at api.astroway.info.<\/p><\/dd>\n

            What data is sent to api.astroway.info?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            Birth data (date, time, city, coordinates) for chart calculation. No data is stored on your site beyond standard WP caching.<\/p><\/dd>\n

            Can I use this on multiple sites?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            Yes for the free anonymous tier. Paid API keys are bound to a single domain by default; you can change the bound domain self-service from the API dashboard at api.astroway.info\/dashboard.<\/p><\/dd>\n

            Is my visitors' data stored anywhere?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            No personal data is stored on api.astroway.info. Birth data (date, time, city, lat\/lon) is processed in-memory for chart calculation and the result is returned. The plugin caches results locally on your WordPress site (WP transients) to reduce repeat API calls; the cache contains chart output only, no PII beyond what was submitted via shortcode arguments.<\/p><\/dd>\n

            How do I report a bug or request a feature?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            For plugin issues: file an issue at https:\/\/github.com\/astroway\/astroway-wp-plugin\/issues. For API or billing questions: contact support via your dashboard at api.astroway.info\/dashboard.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
