Requires at least: 6.8
Tested up to: 7.0

Audit your media library for copyright risks: track internal usage and run reverse image search via Google Vision and TinEye.
== Description ==
Media Audit helps site owners and editors understand where their media files are used and whether those files appear elsewhere on the internet — a key signal for detecting potential copyright violations.
= Features =
* **Internal usage scan** — identifies every post, page, and custom post type that references each attachment as featured image, inline content, or post meta.
* **External reverse image search** — submits images to Google Cloud Vision (Web Detection) and TinEye Commercial API to find matching pages across the web.
* **Consensus detection** — surfaces domains independently confirmed by multiple providers, providing stronger copyright-risk signals.
* **Audit list** — filterable admin page showing each attachment's external scan status and top matching domains.
* **WP-CLI support** — run or schedule scans from the command line.
* **GDPR compliance** — full WordPress privacy API integration for personal data export and erasure on request.
* **Async processing** — all scanning runs via Action Scheduler to avoid blocking web requests.
= Requirements =
* [Action Scheduler](https://actionscheduler.org/) plugin (declared as a required dependency).
* Google Cloud Vision API key (for Web Detection scanning).
* TinEye Commercial API key (for reverse image search).
== Using the plugin ==
= WP-CLI =
Install tables manually (normally handled on activation):
wp mra install
Show current index and scan status:
wp mra status
Run an internal usage scan (queues a batch):
wp mra scan-internal [--batch=<n>]
Run an external reverse image search (queues a batch):
wp mra scan-external [--batch=<n>]
= Extension hooks =
* `mra/internal/scanner/post_types` — filter the post types included in the internal usage scan.
* `mra/internal/scanner/meta_keys` — filter the meta keys inspected during the internal scan.
* `mra/external/providers` — register additional external scan providers.
== Installation ==
= Automatic download =
Visit the plugin section in your WordPress admin, search for "Media Audit"; download and install the plugin.
= Manual download =
Extract the contents of the ZIP and upload the folder to `/wp-content/plugins/robotstxt-mediaaudit/`. Once uploaded it will appear in your plugin list.
After activation, visit **Media Audit → Settings** to enter your API credentials.
== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Do I need both Google Vision and TinEye keys? =
No. The plugin works with either provider configured. Results will only be collected from providers with a valid API key.
= Will scanning slow down my site? =
No. All scans are queued and processed asynchronously by Action Scheduler in small batches.
= What is consensus detection? =
When the same domain appears independently in both Google Vision and TinEye results for the same image, it is flagged as a consensus match — a stronger copyright-risk signal than a single-provider finding.
= Is data deleted when I uninstall? =
By default, no. Enable **Settings → Delete data on uninstall** if you want all plugin tables and options removed on uninstall.
== Compatibility ==
* WordPress: 6.8 - 7.0
* PHP: 8.2 - 8.4
* WP-CLI: 2.x
* Requires Plugins: action-scheduler
== Changelog ==
Only the 3 latest versions. The full changelog is in [changelog.txt](changelog.txt).
= 1.3.0 =
* Added per-provider scan tracking table (`mra_provider_status`) so each API is tracked independently.
* Added "Sync providers" operation: registers newly configured providers for all existing attachments without rescanning already-completed work.
* Changed `mra_external_results.provider` from a fixed ENUM to `varchar(100)` for extensibility.
* DB schema bumped to 1.1.0 with an automatic migration on update.
= 1.2.0 =
* Added browser-based AJAX scan runner in the Tools page (runs without WP-Cron or Action Scheduler).
* Added "Requeue scan errors" operation to retry failed external scans after fixing API key issues.
* Added "Last Scanned" column in the audit list, sortable with NULLs-last ordering.
* Added bulk action to export external scan results as a CSV file.
= 1.1.0 =
* Updated plugin URI, author, and contributor metadata.
= 1.0.0 =
* First stable release. Internal usage scanning, external reverse image search (Google Vision + TinEye), consensus detection, WP-CLI commands, GDPR privacy tools, and Spanish/Catalan translations.
