AstroWay – Astrology & Horoscopes

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

Works without an API key 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.

External services

This plugin connects to api.astroway.info, 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.

What is sent:

• 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).
• When a daily horoscope, moon phase, or daily tarot widget renders: the zodiac sign or deck identifier plus the visitor’s IP address.
• When the site administrator clicks “Verify Key” or “Test Connection” in the Settings screen: the configured API key and a small diagnostics payload.

When this happens:

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

No data is sent on plugin activation, deactivation, or admin pages without explicit user action.

Privacy

This plugin stores the following on the WordPress site:

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

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).
