Preguntas frecuentes
-
How do I get an API key?
-
You can register for a free or paid API key at https://openweathermap.org/api. Choose a plan based on your expected usage.
-
How is API usage calculated?
-
Each coordinate results in one API call. So if you have 4 coordinates and load the page, that’s 4 API requests. Caching prevents duplicate calls within a 15-minute window.
-
How many coordinates can I enter?
-
To keep the map clean, a maximum of 6 coordinates is recommended.

Simply use the shortcode
[weather_map]in your content editor or page builder.
