Description
Fixture Viewer for PlayHQ allows you to display fixtures for a selected team from the PlayHQ API.
Admins can configure the plugin via the WordPress settings page, fetch teams for an organisation, and optionally allow visitors to select a team on the front end.
External Services
This plugin connects to the PlayHQ API (https://api.playhq.com) to retrieve sports fixture data for your selected team or organisation. This is required to display up-to-date fixtures and results on your website.
What the service is and what it is used for:
– The PlayHQ API is a third-party service provided by PlayHQ Pty Ltd. It is used to fetch fixture, team, and season data for sports competitions.
What data is sent and when:
– When you configure the plugin, your PlayHQ API key, organisation ID, and selected team ID are used to make requests to the PlayHQ API.
– The plugin sends these identifiers as part of the API request headers or URL to retrieve fixture and team data.
– No personal user data from your WordPress site is sent to PlayHQ.
