<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to third-party video platform APIs to retrieve oEmbed/metadata so it can normalize URLs, generate embed links, and build thumbnails for videos saved in the Video post type.</p>
<h4>Vimeo API</h4>
<p>Used to fetch metadata and thumbnails for Vimeo URLs.<br />
Data sent: the video ID parsed from the URL.<br />
When sent: when a Vimeo URL is saved or processed.<br />

Data sent: the original Facebook video URL and a site-configured access token (if provided via filter).<br />

Dropndot Video Library

Multi-platform video embeds as a custom post type with REST API and WPGraphQL support for WordPress.

Stellate

<h3>Stellate plugin for WordPress</h3>
<p>This plugin is an addon for the popular <a href="https://github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql" rel="nofollow ugc">WPGraphQL</a> plugin. It helps set up <a href="https://stellate.co" rel="nofollow ugc">Stellate</a> in front of a WordPress GraphQL API by automatically invalidating the cache when content is updated in WordPress. It works no matter the source of the update, whether that is via the WordPress admin panel, a GraphQL mutation, the REST API, or another method. It also supports custom post types and custom taxonomies that are exposed over the GraphQL API.</p>
<p>This plugin only works when you already have the WPGraphQL plugin installed. After adding this plugin, you’ll see a new menu item named “Caching” in the “GraphQL” section of the dashboard sidebar. Here you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Add the name of your Stellate service and a purging token (without that, the plugin will do nothing).</li>
<li>Toggle between soft and hard purging. (Soft purging means the cache will continue serving stale data even after the purge while Stellate updates the data in the background.)</li>
<li>Purge the entire Stellate cache right from the WordPress dashboard.</li>
</ul>
