Third-Party Service
This plugin fetches daily quote data from the The Office Lines API:
- Service: theofficelines.com
- Endpoints used:
https://theofficelines.com/data/qotd.jsonandhttps://theofficelines.com/data/qotd-sfw.json - Data sent: None — the plugin only reads publicly available JSON data via a GET request.
- Frequency: Once per day (cached locally via WordPress transients for 24 hours).
- Terms of service: theofficelines.com/api/
- Privacy policy: No personal data is collected or transmitted. The API returns static JSON with no tracking.
YouTube video thumbnails are loaded from img.youtube.com. When a user clicks play, a YouTube embed iframe is loaded. YouTube’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy apply to that interaction.

FAQ
-
Where does the quote data come from?
-
Quotes are served from the free public API at theofficelines.com. A new quote is selected each day at 6am UTC.
-
Does this slow down my site?
-
No. The daily quote is cached for 24 hours using WordPress transients. The video uses a click-to-play pattern — only a lightweight thumbnail loads initially. The YouTube iframe only loads when a visitor clicks play.
-
Can I show an attribution link?
-
Yes. Go to Settings > Office QOTD and check „Show attribution link.“ Keeping it on helps support the free API that powers this plugin.
-
What if the API is down?
-
The plugin gracefully degrades. If the API is unreachable, it serves the last cached quote for up to an hour. If there is no cached data at all, the widget simply renders nothing.
