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 Terms of Use

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.
