External services
This plugin fetches random quotes from an external JSON file hosted at “https://test.abdullahki.com/random_quote_widget/quotes.json”.
The data sent to the service is a request to retrieve the JSON file, which contains quotes in the format:
{ “quote”: “Your quote here.” }
No personal data is sent with the request, but the plugin fetches this data every time the widget is loaded.
You must ensure the JSON source URL is functioning properly for this plugin to display quotes.
