External services

This plugin connects to Bandcamp (bandcamp.com) to retrieve release metadata and embedded players.

Bandcamp oEmbed API

What it does: Fetches release metadata (title, artist, cover art, embed code) from Bandcamp.
When data is sent: 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.
API endpoint: https://bandcamp.com/api/oembed
Service provider: Bandcamp, Inc.

Bandcamp page fetch

What it does: 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.
When data is sent: Only as a fallback when oEmbed data is incomplete. The release’s Bandcamp URL is requested via a standard HTTP GET.
Data sent: The Bandcamp release URL and a generic user-agent string.

Bandcamp embedded player

What it does: 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.
When data is sent: Each time a visitor views a page containing a Bandcamp embed. The visitor’s browser sends a request to Bandcamp’s servers.
