Hi there,

Why does it need all permissions ?

Regards.

The plugin requests the official list of spaceapi endpoints and will then connect to the endpoint you choose to get the data from it.

As the plugin doesn't include any prior knowledge of what endpoints are available, it must be allowed to communicate with any possible endpoint, i.e. all urls like http://* or https://* - which I encoded as ":///" which shows up as "All permissions".

If you have a suggestion how this could be done in a better way, I would be happy to look into that.
