# Widgets

Three small widgets for other websites: the phrase of the day, a random phrase and a “what does it mean?” lookup box. They call the public API from your visitors’ browsers, respect the limit of 60 requests per minute and always show the credit «Από το είπανε · eipane.com».

## How to add one

There are two ways. The `<script>` tag is the simplest: it loads a frame from eipane.com and adjusts its height automatically. If you prefer, paste the `<iframe>` directly. The content stays on eipane.com, so the credit cannot be removed by accident. The widget pages themselves are not indexed by search engines.

The widgets display the Greek archive, so their text and buttons are in Greek.

Options: `data-theme="light"` or `dark` (or `auto` to follow the visitor’s setting), `data-compact="true"` for a tighter layout, and on the random widget `data-type="gnomiko"`, `paroimia`, `ekfrasi` or `lexi`. In iframe URLs the same options are `?theme=`, `compact=1` and `type=`. The phrase of the day and the random phrase show only reviewed, indexable entries.

Already using the older code with `https://eipan.gr/widget.js`? It keeps working. For new embeds, use the eipane.com code below.

## Phrase of the day

Fixed for each calendar date in the Europe/Athens time zone. Good for a sidebar or footer.

### Script

```
<script src="https://eipane.com/widget.js" data-widget="today" data-theme="light"></script>
```

### Iframe

```
<iframe src="https://eipane.com/widget/today/?theme=light" title="Φράση της ημέρας από το είπανε" loading="lazy" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" style="width:100%;max-width:36rem;min-height:220px;border:0;"></iframe>
```

## Random phrase

A new phrase with the «Άλλη μία» (“another one”) button. Optionally limited to one kind with data-type.

### Script

```
<script src="https://eipane.com/widget.js" data-widget="random" data-theme="light" data-type="paroimia"></script>
```

### Iframe

```
<iframe src="https://eipane.com/widget/random/?theme=light&type=paroimia" title="Τυχαία φράση από το είπανε" loading="lazy" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" style="width:100%;max-width:36rem;min-height:220px;border:0;"></iframe>
```

## “What does it mean?” lookup

A search box that understands accents and Greeklish, like eipane’s own search. It shows a short explanation and a link to the entry.

### Script

```
<script src="https://eipane.com/widget.js" data-widget="lookup" data-theme="light"></script>
```

### Iframe

```
<iframe src="https://eipane.com/widget/lookup/?theme=light" title="Τι σημαίνει; Αναζήτηση στο είπανε" loading="lazy" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" style="width:100%;max-width:36rem;min-height:220px;border:0;"></iframe>
```

## Technical notes

The widgets call the [public API](https://eipane.com/en/api/) from your visitors’ browsers, not from your server. The limit is 60 requests per minute per IP address. The phrase of the day is cached in the browser for the same date, so the request is not repeated needlessly. No third-party trackers are added. Links back to eipane.com are followed links and include `utm_source=widget`.

Use is subject to the [terms of use](https://eipane.com/oroi-chrisis/) and the CC BY 4.0 [content licence](https://eipane.com/adeia/) (both in Greek).
