YouTube Playlistslider source type - pulling playlist items into source-driven slides

JSON Import
Used for:
- the
JSON importslider source type - pulling remote JSON feed items into source-driven slides
When it is used:
- when a slider is configured with
Source Type = JSON import - when preview or frontend rendering fetches the configured JSON endpoint
What is sent:
- a normal outbound HTTP request from the WordPress site to the configured JSON URL
- standard request metadata such as the server IP, user agent, and HTTP headers generated by WordPress hosting/network layers
Important note:
- the plugin does not control the privacy practices of the remote JSON service you choose
- site owners should only use trusted JSON endpoints
Related endpoints:
- your configured JSON URL
Zoro Slider Remote Library and Licensing
Used for:
- loading public template and addon catalog metadata
- opening hosted template previews
- downloading entitled slider, template, and addon packages
- verifying the main product purchase code and, when applicable, a separately sold Pro-addon purchase code
When it is used:
- when you open or refresh the Templates or Addons library
- when you preview a remote catalog item
- when you install or import a protected remote package
- when License Manager verifies or supplies a saved purchase code
What can be sent:
- purchase code
- site URL
- WordPress admin email used for request context

Catalog metadata can be visible without verification. Protected downloads are checked separately. Remote catalog screenshots use a server-provided fallback when an image is known to be unavailable, preventing requests to known-missing files.

Purchase codes should be handled as credentials. Do not publish them, place them in screenshots, or send them through untrusted support channels.
