## Description

Media List Journalist Search connects your WordPress admin to your [Media List](https://medialist.com)
account. Find the right people to pitch without leaving WordPress.

 * **Search contacts** by keywords, title, outlet, city, US state, media type and
   topic.
 * **Browse your saved lists** and the contacts in each one.
 * **See your account**: plan, exports left today and API limits.

The plugin only reads data. It never changes anything in your Media List account.
Emails show only when they are already unlocked in your Media List account.

A Media List API key is required. API keys come with paid Media List plans, see 
[Media List pricing](https://medialist.com/pricing).

### External services

This plugin connects to the Media List API (https://medialist.com/api/v1), a service
run by Media List, to search contacts and read your saved lists and account details.

 * **When:** only when a logged-in user opens one of the plugin’s admin pages (Search
   contacts, Saved lists, Account) or saves an API key in the plugin settings.
 * **What is sent:** your Media List API key (in the Authorization header), the 
   search terms and filters you enter, list IDs you open, and the WordPress site
   address in the User-Agent header. No visitor data and no WordPress content are
   sent.
 * **Service:** Media List, https://medialist.com
 * **Terms of service:** https://medialist.com/terms
 * **Privacy policy:** https://medialist.com/privacy

## Installation

 2. Go to **Media List > Settings** and paste your Media List API key. The key is checked
    against your account when you save it.
 3. Open **Media List > Search contacts** and run a search.

## FAQ

### Where do I get an API key?

### Can the plugin unlock emails or send campaigns?

or change the API key.

The saved API key and cached filter values are removed.
