AstroWay Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
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_optionstable underastroway_settings. Visible only to users withmanage_optionscapability. - 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).
Screenshots
AstroWay menu → API Key landing. Top-level admin menu item with a custom brand icon. The default landing page is the API Key submenu — paste your key, compare anonymous / free / paid plans side-by-side, and connect in one click.
Settings — connection, cache, and system diagnostics. Test the connection to api.astroway.info, inspect the local transient cache (size, entry count, purge), and copy a diagnostic block (PHP / WP / plugin version, key status) for support.
Shortcodes reference with built-in city → lat/lon helper. Five copy-to-clipboard reference cards (description, snippet, params table, Gutenberg block hint). The city search resolves coordinates and IANA timezone and pastes a ready-to-use shortcode.
Gutenberg block in the editor. Five blocks — Natal Chart, Human Design Bodygraph, Daily Horoscope, Moon Phase, Daily Tarot — render via ServerSideRender with live preview. Block selection and the Inspector panel work the standard WordPress way.
Natal chart widget on the frontend, rendered via
[astroway_natal date="…" time="…" lat="…" lon="…"]. Includes zodiac wheel, planets with retrograde markers, and major aspects.
