I don't believe there is a way to get the list of playlists from a folder ambiguously, but you could supply node with an array of the uri's of the playlists you want to include. Create a simple for loop that goes through each uri, and gets the tracks for each playlist (you can filter the result using the filter field in the get request)

so your get request would look something like this (excluding authorization):

https://api.spotify.com/v1/playlists/YOUR_PLAYLIST_URI_HERE/tracks?fields=items(track(uri))

you'll have to interpret the result of that, but you can add each track's uri to an array. If you do all of this on initialization, it only has to be done once. Then you can pull a random value from the array, giving you the uri of a random track in your list of playlists.
