Starts a live stream by calling createLiveStreamRoom
then updateLiveStreamStatus.
Keep note of the room_id and stream_id properties because you will need them to end the live stream.
The rtmp_push_url value can be used with streaming applications such as OBS.
api.startLiveStream('title')
.then(res => console.log(res.data.room))
.catch(console.log);
// Outputs:
// { create_time: 1000000000, owner: {...}, stream_url: {...}, title: 'Example', user_count: 1000, ... }See the live stream types for the response data.
Ends a live stream.
You must call this method to so you are no longer marked as "live" in the app.
api.endLiveStream('<room_id>', '<stream_id>')
.then(res => console.log(res.data.status_code))
.catch(console.log);
// Outputs:
// 0Creates a room to host a live stream.
The rtmp_push_url value can be used with streaming applications such as OBS.
Note: This method only creates the room for the live stream. You'll need to call
updateLiveStreamStatus to mark the stream as started.
See startLiveStream for a helper method that makes these calls for you.
api.startLiveStream('title')
.then(res => console.log(res.data.room))
.catch(console.log);
// Outputs:
