<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 />
Terms: https://vimeo.com/terms<br />
Privacy policy: https://vimeo.com/privacy</p>
<h4>Facebook Graph oEmbed API</h4>
<p>Used to fetch oEmbed information for Facebook video URLs.<br />
Data sent: the original Facebook video URL and a site-configured access token (if provided via filter).<br />
When sent: when a Facebook video URL is saved or processed.<br />
If the oEmbed response does not provide a thumbnail URL, the plugin also fetches the original Facebook video page HTML and extracts the <code>og:image</code> meta tag to determine a thumbnail.<br />
