- api.elsevier.comelsevier_fulltext.py:151
- pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.govfulltext-acquisition.md:67
These are the sites named in the code, so it's where your data could go. It isn't a complete list: code can build addresses while it runs, and a few of these may be links rather than calls. Whatever you send also goes to the AI model you use.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
