<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to Bandcamp (bandcamp.com) to retrieve release metadata and embedded players.</p>
<h4>Bandcamp oEmbed API</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>What it does:</strong> Fetches release metadata (title, artist, cover art, embed code) from Bandcamp.</li>
<li><strong>When data is sent:</strong> Each time a release is added in the admin, or when a cached release expires (cached for 24 hours). The release’s Bandcamp URL is sent to the API.</li>
<li><strong>API endpoint:</strong> <code>https://bandcamp.com/api/oembed</code></li>
<li><strong>Service provider:</strong> Bandcamp, Inc.</li>
<li><a href="https://bandcamp.com/terms_of_use" rel="nofollow ugc">Bandcamp Terms of Use</a></li>
<li><a href="https://bandcamp.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Bandcamp Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>Bandcamp page fetch</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>What it does:</strong> When the oEmbed API does not return sufficient data, the plugin fetches the public Bandcamp release page directly to extract cover art, embed URLs, and metadata from HTML meta tags.</li>
<li><strong>When data is sent:</strong> Only as a fallback when oEmbed data is incomplete. The release’s Bandcamp URL is requested via a standard HTTP GET.</li>
<li><strong>Data sent:</strong> The Bandcamp release URL and a generic user-agent string.</li>
<li><a href="https://bandcamp.com/terms_of_use" rel="nofollow ugc">Bandcamp Terms of Use</a></li>
<li><a href="https://bandcamp.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Bandcamp Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>Bandcamp embedded player</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>What it does:</strong> Displays an embedded Bandcamp player (iframe) on the front end of your site. When a visitor loads the page, their browser connects directly to Bandcamp to load the player.</li>
<li><strong>When data is sent:</strong> Each time a visitor views a page containing a Bandcamp embed. The visitor’s browser sends a request to Bandcamp’s servers.</li>
<li><a href="https://bandcamp.com/terms_of_use" rel="nofollow ugc">Bandcamp Terms of Use</a></li>
