External Service & Remote Requests

This plugin connects to ONE external service only:

• Service name: iltaccodibacco.it (events hub for Italy)
• Domain: https://iltaccodibacco.it
• Purpose: fetch public cultural events to display on your site
• Endpoint pattern (GET, HTTPS):
  https://iltaccodibacco.it/{city-slug}/events.json
  (e.g., https://iltaccodibacco.it/roma/events.json)

When requests happen:
– On frontend when the widget/shortcode renders (and optionally in admin previews).
– Results are cached to reduce calls.

What is sent:
– Standard HTTP request from your server to iltaccodibacco.it over HTTPS.
– No personal data from your visitors is sent by this plugin.
– As with any outgoing request, the remote server sees your server’s IP and basic HTTP metadata.

What is stored:
– The remote response is cached in WordPress (transients/options) for the configured TTL (cache_minutes, default 15 minutes). No personal data is stored.

How to disable:
– Remove the widget and/or the shortcode, or deactivate the plugin.

Notes:
– If the remote service is unavailable or returns an error, the plugin fails gracefully and shows a generic message.
