Description

VedIntel™ AstroAPI brings Swiss Ephemeris-powered Vedic astrology to every WordPress site — as shortcodes, Gutenberg blocks, and interactive visitor forms.

What you get

6 Shortcodes — drop Vedic astrology anywhere in posts, pages, or widgets
6 Gutenberg Blocks — drag-and-drop in the block editor with live inspector controls
Interactive forms — visitors enter their own birth data, result renders inline. No page reload.
AI narrative streaming — VedIntel™ AstroAPI reads the chart aloud, token by token (requires AI add-on)
3 visual themes — Cosmic Dark, Clean Light, Minimal — match any site design
City autocomplete — type a city name, lat/lon/timezone auto-fill
Secure proxy — your API key never reaches the browser. All calls go server-to-server.

Shortcodes

Interactive form (recommended for public sites):
[vedintel_form widget= »chart »]

Static widgets (hardcoded birth data):
[vedintel_chart dob= »01/10/1977″ tob= »11:40″ lat= »11″ lon= »77″ tz= »5.5″]
[vedintel_dasha dob= »01/10/1977″ tob= »11:40″ lat= »11″ lon= »77″ tz= »5.5″]
[vedintel_panchang lat= »28.61″ lon= »77.20″ tz= »5.5″]
[vedintel_compatibility m_dob= »01/10/1977″ m_lat= »11″ m_lon= »77″ m_tz= »5.5″ f_dob= »15/03/1980″ f_lat= »19.07″ f_lon= »72.87″ f_tz= »5.5″]
[vedintel_ai_chart dob= »01/10/1977″ tob= »11:40″ lat= »11″ lon= »77″ tz= »5.5″]

External Services

This plugin connects to the VedIntel AstroAPI (vedintelastroapi.com) to compute and retrieve Vedic astrology data.

What the service does: Performs server-side Vedic astronomical computation (planetary positions, dashas, panchang, kundali matching, AI chart narratives) using Swiss Ephemeris.

What data is sent and when:
– Birth date, time, latitude, longitude, and timezone — sent when a shortcode or block renders astrology data, or when a visitor submits the interactive birth-data form.
– City name — sent when a visitor uses the city autocomplete field to look up coordinates.
– Your API key — sent with every request to authenticate your account. It is added server-side and never exposed to the browser.

No personally identifiable information beyond birth data is collected or stored by this plugin.

Service provider: VedIntel (vedintelastroapi.com)

FAQ

Is my API key secure?: Yes. Your API key is stored in wp_options (same as any WordPress setting) and all API calls are made server-to-server via the WordPress REST API proxy. It is never exposed in the browser or JavaScript source.
Do visitors see my API key?: No. The plugin includes a REST proxy (/wp-json/vedintel/v1/proxy) that adds your API key on the server before calling the VedIntel API.
Which plan do I need?: The free plan (500 calls/month) works with all widgets. AI narrative endpoints ([vedintel_ai_chart]) require an AI add-on on any paid plan.
Does this work with page builders?: Yes. The shortcodes work in any context that supports WordPress shortcodes — Elementor, Beaver Builder, Divi, WPBakery, etc.
Can visitors enter their own birth data?: Yes. Use [vedintel_form widget="chart"] (or any other widget type). A form renders, and when the visitor submits, the result appears inline with no page reload.
