Random Post Shortcode

grandllama

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