Set the API key (or define NBLICK_SIGNAL_API_KEY\nin wp-config.php), enable logging, and use the Status tab to send a test event.<\/p>\n\n<h3>External services<\/h3>\n\n<p>This plugin connects to the nBlick Signal API, a third-party service, to provide\nbot detection and traffic analysis. This connection is essential to the plugin's\npurpose: request data collected on your site is transmitted to nBlick for\nanalysis, and the plugin does nothing useful without it.<\/p>\n\n<p>What is sent, and when:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>The plugin sends batches of request metadata to the nBlick Signal ingest\nendpoint (default: https:\/\/api.trynblick.com\/signals\/wordpress) on a recurring\nbackground schedule (via WP-Cron) whenever logging is enabled and queued data\nexists, and once when you click \"Send Test Event\".<\/li>\n<li>Each request record may contain: the visitor's IP address, the request method,\nhost, path, HTTP status code, user agent, referer, response size, request\nduration, a timestamp, query-string parameters (with sensitive keys such as\npasswords and tokens redacted), a per-site identifier (UUID), and a schema\nversion number.<\/li>\n<li>Only public front-end traffic is sent. WordPress admin, login, REST API, AJAX,\ncron, WP-CLI, and any paths you exclude are never collected or transmitted.<\/li>\n<li>Authentication uses an API key you provide, sent in the X-NBlick-Signal-Key\nrequest header.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>The IP address is transmitted in full because it is required for the service's\nbot-detection and reverse-DNS analysis.<\/p>\n\n<p>This service is provided by nBlick. By using the plugin you are sending the data\ndescribed above to nBlick. Please review their terms and privacy policy:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Terms of service: https:\/\/trynblick.com\/terms-of-service<\/li>\n<li>Privacy policy: https:\/\/trynblick.com\/privacy-policy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Privacy<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li>The plugin is server-side only. It sets no cookies and performs no client-side\nor browser tracking.<\/li>\n<li>Sensitive query parameters (configurable; by default password, pass, token,\nauth, authorization, apikey, api_key, secret, card, cc, ssn and similar) are\nredacted to \"[REDACTED]\" before storage and transmission.<\/li>\n<li>Captured data is queued in a local database table and removed after it is sent\nsuccessfully, or purged after the configured retention period (default 7 days).<\/li>\n<li>When the Sodium PHP extension is available, the API key is encrypted at rest\nusing your site's authentication salts; defining NBLICK_SIGNAL_API_KEY in\nwp-config.php avoids database storage entirely.<\/li>\n<li>Because the plugin transmits visitor IP addresses to a third party, you may\nneed to disclose this in your own site's privacy policy depending on your\njurisdiction (e.g. GDPR\/CCPA).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<!--section=changelog-->\n<h4>1.0.0<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Initial release: queue-based capture, batched delivery with exponential-backoff\nretries, circuit breaker, query-parameter redaction, request\/path filtering,\nAPI-key encryption, retention cleanup, and a REST-API-driven admin interface.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"Captures public request metadata and ships it in batches to the nBlick Signal API for bot detection and traffic analysis.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/es-uy.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/321701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/es-uy.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/es-uy.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/es-uy.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=321701"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/es-uy.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/ldesuque"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/es-uy.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=321701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/es-uy.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=321701"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/es-uy.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=321701"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/es-uy.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=321701"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/es-uy.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=321701"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/es-uy.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=321701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
