This widget is perfect for anyone who wants accurate, low-cost tide predictions on their website. WorldTides.info provides tide predictions at consumer-level prices. Globally, WorldTides.info is the leading provider of tide predictions through an API.

API Key

You can get an API Key from worldtides.info and use it for one month (100 credits) for free. Because it is optimized, it only requires two credits per one-day or 7-day prediction. Use your 100 free credits wisely because you’ll only get 50 predictions. After that, you can buy 10,000 credits (5,000 predictions) for $10; using more credits reduces the cost. Check this page before you use this plugin. Pricing

TIDE ICONS

Icons for WorldTides™ are exclusive to this app. Each display shows 1 to 5 lines, depending on the tide level.

ONE TO SEVEN DAY PREDICTIONS

The prediction is available for 1 or 7 days, and no cost difference exists between these options.

PLACEMENT IN CONTENT OR SIDEBAR

You can place the WorldTides™ widget in a sidebar or footer. Additionally, you can use a shortcode to embed the widget in an article.

ANY LOCATION WORLDWIDE

Thhere are thousands of coastal stations worldwide, and when those are unavailable, we use satellite data. Tide predictions are not possible overland or along rivers that are too far from the coast.
