Design Decisions

Server-side API requests

The external API is accessed from PHP using the WordPress HTTP API. JavaScript communicates only with WordPress AJAX.

Caching

Successful responses are cached using WordPress Transients for 15 minutes to reduce unnecessary HTTP requests.

API fallback

If the configured API URL is unavailable, returns an error, or returns invalid JSON, the plugin automatically retries using the default JSONPlaceholder API.

Configurable settings

Administrators can configure:

API base URL
User limit

without modifying the plugin code.

Additional documentation is available in the docs/ directory.
