<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.

How to use the shortcode
You can add tide times and heights using the <code>tide_plugin</code> shortcode and the following options:
<ul>
<li>region: use “cornwall”, “devon”, “dorset”, “hampshire”, “sussex”, “kent”, “london”, “essex”, “suffolk” or “norfolk”</li>
<li>location: use one of the location codes from <a href="https://www.cornwall-tides.com/location-codes" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a></li>
<li>type: use “table” or “card” to set the widget type</li>
<li>theme: use “basic”, “space”, or “ocean” to set the widget theme</li>
<li>days: use “1”, “2”, or “3” to set the number of days</li>
<li>slider: use “true” to enable widget controls when showing multiple days</li>
<li>icons: use “false” to disable widget icons </li>
<li>map: use “true” to include a Google Map </li>
<li>maptype: use “satellite” or “roadmap” to set the type of map</li>
<li>mapzoom: use “0” to “20” to set the initial map zoom </li>
<li>mapwidth: default is “100%” but you can set it to any valid CSS dimension</li>
<li>mapheight: default is “auto” but you can set it to any valid CSS dimension</li>
</ul>
Example shortcode:
<pre><code>[tide_plugin region="cornwall" location="boobys-bay" type="card" theme="ocean" days="3" slider="true" map="true" maptype="roadmap" mapzoom="12" mapwidth="100%" mapheight="400px"]Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet[/tide_plugin]
</code></pre>
This would show a map plus tide times and heights for the next 3 days for Booby’s Bay, Cornwall.
