External Services

This plugin connects to the Gozo Album API to retrieve photographic content that is displayed on the website.

The external service is used to fetch photo data (such as image URLs, titles, descriptions, categories, tags, locations, and related metadata) required to render the Gozo Album galleries.

The plugin sends API requests when: – A page containing the Gozo Album shortcode is loaded – Cached data is refreshed automatically or manually by the site administrator

The plugin sends HTTP GET requests to the Gozo Album API endpoints to retrieve photo, tag, and photographer data. Requests include standard HTTP headers and, if configured by the site administrator, an API key sent via request headers.

Filtering, pagination, and display logic are processed locally within the plugin and are not transmitted to the external service.

No personal data, user-generated content, IP addresses, cookies, or visitor-identifiable information are transmitted.

API Access: To use this plugin, an API key is required. Site administrators can request an API key via the official Gozo Album API request page: https://gozoalbum.gov.mt/api-request

The Gozo Album API is owned, operated, and maintained by the same entity that publishes this plugin (Gozo Album).
