Detailed Description

A foreign repo that implement support for API queries.

Extension file repos should implement this if they support making API queries against the foreign repos. Media handler extensions (e.g. TimedMediaHandler) can look for this interface if they need to look up additional information. However, media handler extensions are encouraged to only use direct api calls as a last resort, and try to use other methods to get the information they need instead.
