<p>You can obtain your API key from your WebSelfStorage account. Contact your storage network provider for more information about accessing the WebSelfStorage API.</p>
<h4>What is an Entity ID?</h4>
<p>The Entity ID is a unique identifier for your storage facility. It’s typically a 6-digit number (e.g., 019109). If you’re unsure of your Entity ID, you can leave it blank and the plugin will attempt to retrieve it from the API.</p>

<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to an external API to display storage facility information and available units on your site. This is required for the plugin to function.</p>
<p><strong>WebSelfStorage API (U-Haul Self-Storage Affiliate Network)</strong> — https://api.webselfstorage.com</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>What it is and what it is used for:</strong> The WebSelfStorage API is a service provided by U-Haul (eMove, Inc. d/b/a U-Haul Self Storage Affiliate Network). The plugin uses it to retrieve your storage facility’s location details (address, phone, hours) and available storage units with pricing so you can show that information on your WordPress site via the shortcode.</li>
<li><strong>What data is sent and when:</strong> The plugin sends your <strong>API key</strong> (in the request header) and your <strong>facility Entity ID</strong> (in the request URL) to the API. Specifically, it sends the Entity ID to endpoints such as <code>/v3/location/</code> and <code>/v3/movein/</code> to fetch location details (address, phone, hours) and available units with pricing. No site visitor personal data is sent. Data is sent when a page or post containing the shortcode is loaded, and when an administrator uses the settings page (e.g. testing the connection).</li>
