## Maelezo

**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″]

#### Get an API Key

 1. Sign up free at [vedintelastroapi.com](https://vedintelastroapi.com)
 2. Go to **Dashboard  API Keys** and copy your key
 3. Paste it in **Settings  VedIntel Astro** in your WordPress admin

The free plan includes 500 API calls/month — plenty for low-traffic sites. Paid 
plans start at $9/month.

#### Powered by

 * Swiss Ephemeris — industry-standard astronomical computation (local, zero third-
   party dependency)
 * Lahiri Ayanamsa (default) — most common in Indian Vedic practice
 * Claude AI — narrative interpretations by VedIntel™ AstroAPI (AI add-on required)

### 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)
 **Terms of Service:** https://
vedintelastroapi.com/terms **Privacy Policy:** https://vedintelastroapi.com/privacy

## Installation

 1. Upload the `vedintel-astro` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate the plugin in **Plugins  Installed Plugins**
 3. Go to **Settings  VedIntel Astro**
 4. Paste your API key and click **Test Key** to verify
 5. Add a shortcode or block to any post or page

## 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.
