Audit your media library for copyright risks: track internal usage, run reverse image search via Google Vision, TinEye, and PicDefense, and classify results against configurable alert and ignored hostname lists.

== 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, alert classification, 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).

= 1.6.0 =

* Settings page reorganised into four tabs: General, API Credentials, Filters, External Scanning.
* New Filters tab: configurable Alert Hostnames and Ignored Hostnames lists with wildcard support (`*.example.com`), auto-normalization (strips scheme/path/port/www., deduplicates, sorts), and default pre-populated lists (60 alert domains, 56 ignored domains) seeded on first activation.
* New "Alert" status filter in the audit list and alert badge in the External Status column.
* Dashboard stats: new "Alert" card showing attachments with at least one alert domain match.
* Quick-view modal: ignored domains filtered out; alert domains highlighted with a status badge.
* Full Report detail page: external results split into three sections — Alert, Other, and Ignored domains.
* Unified CSV export replacing separate internal/external exports: "Export CSV" (all) and "Export CSV (Alerts only)", one row per attachment with all internal and external data including per-provider match counts and classified domain lists.
* "Media Audit" admin menu repositioned immediately below the built-in Media menu.

= 1.5.0 =

* Added PicDefense as a third external scan provider: POST-based reverse image search with risk classification (high/medium/low), backlinks with similarity scores, risk flags (face/logo/landmark/stock/EXIF copyright), and label detection.
* Full Report page now shows PicDefense results with picRisk badge, risk flags list, backlinks table sorted by similarity score, and detected labels.
* Audit list modal shows picRisk badge inline next to the PicDefense match count.

= 1.4.0 =

* Added full attachment detail page (Media Audit → Full Report) showing all raw external scan data: Google Vision pages/full/partial matches with clickable URLs; TinEye backlinks with page URL, image URL, and crawl date sorted newest-first.
* Fixed `rate_limit_per_minute` setting having no effect — providers were ignoring it and using a hardcoded value of 10.
* Fixed `external_batch_size` setting being ignored by Action Scheduler batch processing.
* Fixed TinEye domain extraction using the image CDN URL instead of the webpage URL (API field `backlink`, not `url`).

= 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.

= Previous versions =
