BarkingLlama Roulette adds a simple shortcode and REST endpoint that selects a random YouTube video from a configured playlist and embeds it on your site.
Perfect for motivational cards as Shorts, “daily randomness” pages, or any curated playlist you want to keep fresh.
Features: 
* Shortcode: [llama_roulette] 
* REST endpoint: /wp-json/llama-roulette/v1/random 
* Playlist caching via transients to reduce YouTube API calls 
* Optional Privacy Enhanced Mode (youtube-nocookie embeds) 
* “Start Muted” setting for reliable autoplay
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin uses the YouTube Data API v3 (Google) to retrieve videos from the configured YouTube playlist so it can select and display a random video.
What data is sent and when: 
* The configured playlist ID (or playlist ID parsed from a provided playlist URL) is sent when the plugin requests playlist items. 
* The configured YouTube API key is sent with those API requests for authentication. 
* These requests occur when cached playlist data is missing or expired, or when playlist data must be refreshed.
Service provider: 
* Google / YouTube Data API v3
