External services

This plugin connects to the S.EE API to provide URL shortening, text sharing, and file hosting services. All core functionality depends on this external service.

What the service is

S.EE is a platform that provides URL shortening, text sharing (paste), and file hosting services. This plugin integrates these services into the WordPress admin dashboard.

What data is sent and when

  • URL Shortening: When you shorten a URL (manually or via the auto-shorten option on publish), the post permalink, optional custom slug, and post title are sent to the API.
  • Text Sharing: When you share text, the text content, title, and format type (plain text, Markdown, or source code) are sent to the API.
  • File Upload: When you upload a file (manually or via the auto-upload option), the file is sent to the API.
  • Domain Fetching: Your API key is sent to retrieve your available domains for short URLs, text sharing, and file hosting.
  • Connection Test: Your API key and base URL are sent to verify your credentials.
  • Deletion: When you delete a short URL, text share, or uploaded file, the corresponding identifier is sent to the API.

No data is collected or sent without user action or an explicitly enabled automation setting (auto-shorten on publish, auto-upload on media add). No visitor/user tracking is performed.

Where do I get an API key?

Sign up at s.ee and generate an API key from your account settings.

Can I define the API key in wp-config.php?

Yes. Add define( 'SDOTEE_API_KEY', 'your-api-key-here' ); to your wp-config.php file. This takes priority over the database setting.

Can I use a custom API base URL?

Yes. Either set it in Settings > S.EE or define SDOTEE_API_BASE_URL in wp-config.php.
