Brickset API

This plugin fetches and displays LEGO set information from the Brickset database directly on a website. It is designed for site owners and hobbyists who want to showcase their LEGO collection or related content. The tool provides structured data access and presentation methods while managing performance.

• API Data Integration: Connects to the Brickset webservice to retrieve detailed set information, including themes, subthemes, piece counts, and release years.
• Pre-formatted Display Methods: Offers template tags, shortcodes, and widgets to output set data without requiring custom code for basic implementations.
• Daily Data Caching: Stores requested set information locally for 24 hours to minimize external API calls and improve page loading times.
• Multiple Output Options: Supports embedding via oEmbed URLs, using shortcodes in posts, adding widgets to sidebars, and direct PHP function calls for theme development.
• User Collection Features: Includes functions for authenticated users to interact with their Brickset account data, such as owned and wanted lists, though this requires custom implementation.
