 * Hi,
    I have doubt, `wp_remote_get( $url, $args );` any security hole ? If I call
   3rd party api to my website by using wp_remote_get function, they can hack my
   website , isn’t it ?

 * No.Its safe use `wp_remote_get( $url, $args )` to get info from them but
    to 
   use `'sslverify' => true` is recommended.
