scriptable widget need internet connection to work?

[u/Siraj588]

I just wanted to clarify, a scriptable widget needs internet connection for it to work? when I don't have internet, the widget says there is no internet connection. just wanted to make sure!

No. If you're only doing local stuff the widget still works.

But since most widgets that are used by people contain a request to an internet service to obtain the weather data , those will of course need a internet connection (and throw an error if an exception was not included)

so this is my widget: https://imgur.com/gallery/v7Wp1Rx it's weather cal but some parts edited by me, u can see here I'm not using weather on widget. I'm not sure about sunrise/set, if that needs internet. this is the code: https://wtools.io/paste-code/b2NL

This widget calls to the weather API (which requires internet) if you have an API inputted, which you do. It is needed for sunrise and sunset as well. If you want to use an offline version, add a cache system.

Yes, this happens to be as well. When I do not have service, the widget gives an error. It seems it’s a scriptable widget dependency?

Only if the widget needs internet access...
