### External services

This plugin connects to the Expertonaut license API at `https://www.expertonaut.
de/wp-json/nnax-licenses/v1` to activate, check and deactivate addon licenses.

For license activation, license checks and license deactivation, the plugin sends
the site URL, plugin slug, plugin version, site locale and the entered or stored
license key to the license server.

For update checks of licensed addons, the plugin sends the site URL, plugin slug,
plugin version, plugin basename, site locale and the stored license key to the license
server.

The bundled UIkit library can request Vimeo oEmbed metadata when a Vimeo URL is 
rendered through a supported UIkit media component.

When that happens, the plugin sends the target Vimeo URL to Vimeo’s oEmbed endpoint
so the embed can be resolved.
