## Skildring

Open Source Media Connect is a powerful and user-friendly WordPress plugin designed
to seamlessly integrates with the Openverse API to enable users to search and embed
open-source images directly into their posts and pages. The plugin features a straightforward
setup process with a single configuration option in Settings  Open Source Media 
for connecting to the Openverse service.

Once configured, users can easily add open-source images using the Open Source Media
block. The block offers a comprehensive set of features:

– Keyword-based image search
 – Customizable image settings including caption and
alt text – Flexible sizing options with size classes – Adjustable media width – 
Optional media attribution display

### External Services

This plugin uses the [Openverse API](https://api.openverse.org/) to search open-
source media and place it inside your posts or pages as an image block. This service
is provided by [Openverse.org](https://openverse.org/), which is part of the wider
[WordPress.org](https://wordpress.org/) project, giving you a vast catalog of openly
licensed images at your fingertips.

The following information is required to interact with the Openverse API:

 * **Client ID & Client Secret** – Used to request an access token.
 * **Token** – Necessary for accessing the [image_search](https://api.openverse.org/v1/#tag/images/operation/images_search)
   endpoint.
 * **Search query** – Required for searching images; can also serve as optional 
   alt text.
 * **Site Name** – Provided as the value for the _name_ field during [API registration](https://api.openverse.org/v1/#tag/auth/operation/register).
 * **Admin Email Address** – Provided as the value for the _email_ field during 
   [API registration](https://api.openverse.org/v1/#tag/auth/operation/register).
 * **Site URL** – Combined with the phrase «WordPress integration for» to form the
   _description_ field during [API registration](https://api.openverse.org/v1/#tag/auth/operation/register).

This plugin uses the provided information to request your Openverse Client ID and
Client Secret. These credentials are then used to obtain an API token, which is 
valid for up to ten hours and is automatically renewed whenever you perform an image
search using the Open Source Media block. Your search query is used to find matching
images on Openverse, and the token is required to connect to the Openverse API’s
media search endpoint.

This plugin does not track users or collect any personal data beyond the information
listed above.
