<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 />
Terms: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms<br />
Privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/</p>
<h4>TikTok oEmbed API</h4>
<p>Used to fetch oEmbed information for TikTok video URLs.<br />
Data sent: the original TikTok video URL (when available/stored in post meta for normalization).<br />
When sent: when a TikTok URL is saved or processed.<br />
Fallbacks: if needed, the plugin fetches HTML from <code>https://www.tiktok.com/embed/{video_id}</code> and also tries <code>https://www.tiktok.com/v/{video_id}</code> to parse <code>og:image</code> and JSON-LD for a thumbnail.<br />

<p>WPGraphQL IDE is a next-generation query editor for WPGraphQL, built on WordPress’s component library and CodeMirror 6. It replaces the bundled legacy GraphiQL interface with a faster, more extensible IDE that feels native to wp-admin.</p>
<p><strong>Three ways to open the IDE:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Dedicated page</strong> at <code>wp-admin/admin.php?page=graphql-ide</code></li>
<li><strong>Drawer</strong> — slide-up panel triggered from the admin bar, available on every wp-admin and front-end page</li>
<li><strong>Public endpoint mode</strong> (opt-in) — visiting the GraphQL endpoint URL in a browser renders the IDE shell instead of returning JSON. Anonymous visitors get a read-only schema browser; signed-in administrators get the full editor.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Editor features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Multi-tab editor with auto-save and overflow tab dropdown</li>
<li>Schema-aware autocomplete, hover-doc tooltips, and inline lint warnings (powered by CodeMirror 6 + cm6-graphql)</li>
<li>Cmd-click navigation from any field, type, or argument straight to the Docs Explorer</li>
<li>Response panes: JSON viewer, table view, status code / duration / size / resolver-count badges, request tracing, query log, N+1 detection</li>
<li>Variables and headers editors with their own autocomplete</li>
<li>Per-document settings (description, alias names, max-age cache hint, allow/deny)</li>
<li>Execution history persisted to localStorage, scoped per WordPress user and IDE context — available to anonymous public-endpoint visitors too</li>
<li>Saved Queries panel with personal collections and share links (when WPGraphQL Smart Cache is also active)</li>
<li>Full keyboard support: Cmd+Enter to execute, Ctrl+Shift+P to prettify, arrow keys to switch tabs</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What’s new in 5.0:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Rebuilt UI</strong> on <code>@wordpress/components</code> and <code>@wordpress/data</code>. The legacy GraphiQL wrapper is gone — see the Upgrade Notice if you have customizations.</li>
<li><strong>Smart Cache integration.</strong> Saved documents now live in <code>wp-graphql-smart-cache</code>‘s <code>graphql_document</code> post type — one canonical primitive for the WPGraphQL ecosystem. The IDE works standalone when Smart Cache isn’t installed; Saved Queries / Document Settings / share links light up when it is.</li>
<li><strong>Three render modes</strong> (above), each individually configurable.</li>
<li><strong>Schema-typed data layer.</strong> Document and collection operations run through WPGraphQL itself instead of the WordPress REST API.</li>
<li><strong>Full internationalization.</strong> Every UI string passes through <code>@wordpress/i18n</code> under the <code>wpgraphql-ide</code> text domain.</li>
<li><strong>Auto-upgrade from 4.x.</strong> Open tabs and query history saved by the legacy GraphiQL UI migrate forward on first 5.0 load.</li>
</ul>
<p>For the complete breaking-change list and 4.x <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> 5.0 migration guide, see <code>UPGRADE-5.0.md</code> in the plugin or the project’s GitHub releases.</p>

<p>WPGraphQL IDE uses <a href="https://appsero.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Appsero</a> SDK to collect some telemetry data upon user’s confirmation. This helps us to troubleshoot problems faster and make product improvements.</p>
<p>Appsero SDK <strong>does not gather any data by default.</strong> The SDK only starts gathering basic telemetry data <strong>when a user allows it via the admin notice</strong>.</p>
<p>When you opt in, each telemetry request is sent to Appsero and a duplicate is sent in a non-blocking request to WPGraphQL-operated infrastructure at https://telemetry.wpgraphql.com (the same categories of data as described for Appsero below).</p>
