External Services
Public Signal Video Feed relies on services provided by Google and YouTube to retrieve and display playlist content.
When an uncached feed or block editor preview is rendered, the site sends the configured YouTube Data API key, the playlist identifier, and a pagination token when needed to the YouTube Data API endpoint at https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems. The API response is normalized and stored temporarily in WordPress transients for the configured cache duration.
Playlist thumbnail images load in a visitor’s browser from the YouTube or Google-hosted image URLs returned by the API. The normal YouTube iframe player loads after a visitor selects a video. If API playlist data is unavailable, a fallback YouTube playlist iframe may load when the page loads. These browser requests can transmit technical information such as the visitor’s IP address, browser user agent, referrer, and cookies to Google or YouTube.
