== External services ==

This plugin connects to the ogCover API (https://ogcover.io) to generate Open Graph images.

When you trigger image generation (automatic on post save, manual from the editor, or bulk sync), the plugin sends the following post/page data to https://ogcover.io/api/generate:

* title
* excerpt/content snippet
* author name
* publication date
* category and tag names
* estimated reading time
* site name and tagline
* featured/content image URL

No data is sent unless image generation is explicitly triggered. Generated image files are stored in your WordPress uploads directory.
