External Services

This plugin connects to the external CalGet API (https://calget.com) to function. Here’s how it’s used:

• Service Used: CalGet
• API Endpoint Base: https://calget.com/api/wp/v1/
• Purpose: The CalGet API is used to:
  • Fetch your calendars and existing events to select from within the block editor.
  • Create new calendar events directly from the block editor.
  • Retrieve the necessary links for each “Add to Calendar” button (Google, Apple, etc.) for rendering on the frontend.
  • Verify your API key and fetch team/subscription information for the settings page and editor notices.
• Data Sent:
  • API Key: Your CalGet API key (obtained from calget.com) is sent with every request for authentication.
  • Calendar/Event Selection: When selecting calendars or events in the editor, the relevant IDs are sent.
  • New Event Details: When creating a new event via the block editor, the details you enter (title, description, dates, location, timezone, etc.) are sent to the API.
  • Block Attributes: When rendering the buttons on the frontend, the selected event ID and calendar ID might be sent if the links weren’t saved with the block.
• Frequency: API calls occur when:
  • Loading the block editor for the “Add to Calendar Button” block (fetching calendars, events, team info).
  • Changing the selected calendar in the editor (fetching events).
  • Saving a new event created within the editor.
  • Loading a page containing the rendered block on the frontend (potentially fetching event links).
  • Loading the plugin settings page (fetching team info, verifying API key).
