<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to the Tides Today widget API at <code>api.tidestoday.io</code> to load the list of available countries, regions, and locations, and to fetch the tide and weather data needed by saved widgets.
On first use, the plugin registers this WordPress installation with the Tides Today widget API. The API returns an installation identifier and secret, which are stored in the WordPress options table and used to sign future catalog and widget data requests. This helps protect the public widget API from abuse while allowing legitimate high-traffic sites to use cached server-side requests.
When an administrator uses the widget builder, the plugin sends the selected widget language and selected location identifiers or slugs to the Tides Today service to retrieve catalog data and preview data.
When a saved widget is displayed on the public site, the plugin requests <code>data.json</code> from the Tides Today API for the saved language, country, region, and location so the plugin-bundled JavaScript can render current tide and weather information.
Those API requests are made from your WordPress site server to the Tides Today service. Site visitors do not receive remotely hosted executable JavaScript from Tides Today; widget rendering JavaScript and base CSS are included in this plugin. The plugin caches service responses through WordPress.
Map and weather image assets referenced by the widget data are loaded from the Tides Today CDN at <code>https://cdn.tidestoday.media</code> when the widget renders. These are image assets only, not executable code. This is required because it is not practical to bundle and maintain map and weather image assets for more than 8,000 supported locations inside the plugin package.

uk-tides displays tide times and heights for a particular location in the UK. 
The information that is displayed is obtained from the RSS feed for tidetimes.org.uk (eg https://www.tidetimes.org.uk/chichester-harbour-entrance-tide-times.rss ) 
or tidetimes.co.uk ( eg https://www.tidetimes.co.uk/rss/chichester-harbour-entrance-tide-times ). 
The data is cached until midnight.
This plugin implements a block called UK tides ( uk-tides/uk-tides ).
<ul>
<li>It’s much easier to use than the shortcode.</li>
<li>It uses the functionality that was previously implemented as the [bw_tides] shortcode.</li>
<li>The block is not dependent upon the oik plugin.</li>
</ul>
The syntax for the [bw_tides] shortcode is:
[bw_tides 
tideurl=”https://www.tidetimes.org.uk/chichester-harbour-entrance-tide-times.rss|other – RSS feed URL for location” 
store=”1|store key – unique key for caching result”]
Examples: 
 [bw_tides] with no parameters will display the tide times and heights for Chichester Harbour Entrance. The information will be cached in store=1 until midnight.
[bw_tides store=bw_tides_pompey tideurl=”https://www.tidetimes.org.uk/portsmouth”] will display the tide times and heights obtained from 
 https://www.tidetimes.org.uk/portsmouth-tide-times.rss and cache the result in a store named ‘bw_tides_pompey’
Note: Using the store parameter allows you to display tide time and height information for more than one location.
Examples: 
 If you prefer you can use tidetimes.co.uk as the source for tidal information.
[bw_tides tideurl=”https://www.tidetimes.co.uk/rss/chichester-harbour-entrance-tide-times”]
