More than one widget on same page – multiple API calls?

    Hi, if I add two widgets for the same location on the same page, will it count as two API calls? We will be using the Free API, so I am trying to find out if I will exceed my call limit.

    The reason I need two on one page is to show a condensed short version at the top, and then a full weather display in the body of the page.

    Thanks!

    I will have a weather widget in the header, so it will be present on every page. If I have WP Cloudy caching turned on, does it still count as an API call on every page load?

    Hi,
    every weather can make at least 1 call up to 3 (if you have hourly and daily forecast).
    So yes caching is very important, and you can change the refresh value in Settings > WP Cloudy > Advanced to increase this value to reduce API calls.
    It maybe possible to track calls from you Open Weather Map account.
