I would highly appreciate it. -

What? haha That post was directed to yawns. I thought I would give him a headsup on the error.
However, tell me what info you are looking for regarding the tides. Do you simply want the current day’s high and low tides with the times they occur? I could try and put something together for you if I have the time. Then yawns can look at his module when he has the time.

I’am living near the coast and often go for a walk along the beach. It’s handy to now when it’s high or low tides, especially if I want to photograph. But I have patience, do not hurry, just worry that I do not get it working.

I found the problem, yeah !!!
The apiBase URL has to change fromapiBase: "http://worldtides.info/api"to
apiBase: "https://worldtides.info/api" -
@pjkoeleman
Yep, you are right. However you cannot simply replace the apibase, do you? I guess I have to change the module to use request() to allow access to https and to avoid no-origin replies. -

I replaced the apibase in the file MMM-WorldTides.js as discribed above (line 29). So I think you should update the module with this.
I will be looking in to your code to make some changes in the layout off the out put, so when you are interested let me now. -
I received a pull request on github which replaced the apiBase. I did not know the standard
XMLHttpRequest()can handle https as well. You should be able togit pullon your device to update the version.
Sure, play around with it and present it. WorldTides was my first module, there is a lot of space for improvement. -

As per conversations with you both, here is my approach to a tide module, using the same API as the WorldTides module.
@yawns - Thanks for your permission to attempt another tide module. :^)
@pjkoeleman - Here is what I’ve done for you so far. It rotates through the next 48 hours of tides with day, date and times, tide height variance, location name and the actual coordinates of the tide station being used by the module. Tide height variance can be in feet(ft) or meters(m). The API chooses the closest tide station to the latitude and longitude you enter in the config.
If you prefer a static list of tides then please let me know and I’ll see what I can do.
Here’s 2 screenshots of WorldTides with SimpleTides underneath. They look pretty good together. Obviously, you can’t see the rotation in a picture, but you get the idea.

A little better formatting of the day, date and time of the tides and removed the GMT offset. Same info, less screen real estate used. :^)

Again, I would like to thank you for the green light on this, and making a tide module of my own. Mine is so different that I just did my thing without messing with yours. Actually, I think they compliment each other. Yours in a table and mine in rotation.
Anyway, good luck in your new home! :^)
