Quickstart

Before you begin

  1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
  2. Enable billing for your project.
  3. Enable the Live Stream API API.
  4. Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.

Installing the client library

npm install @google-cloud/livestream

Using the client library

/**
 * TODO(developer): Uncomment these variables before running the sample.
 */
/**
 *  Required. The parent location for the resource, in the form of:
 *  `projects/{project}/locations/{location}`.
 */
// const parent = 'abc123'
/**
 *  The maximum number of items to return. If unspecified, server
 *  will pick an appropriate default. Server may return fewer items than
 *  requested. A caller should only rely on response's
 *  next_page_token google.cloud.video.livestream.v1.ListChannelsResponse.next_page_token  to
 *  determine if there are more items left to be queried.
 */
// const pageSize = 1234
/**
 *  The next_page_token value returned from a previous List request, if any.
 */
// const pageToken = 'abc123'
/**
 *  The filter to apply to list results.
 */
// const filter = 'abc123'
/**
 *  Specifies the ordering of results following syntax at
 *  https://cloud.google.com/apis/design/design_patterns#sorting_order.
 */
// const orderBy = 'abc123'

// Imports the Livestream library
const {LivestreamServiceClient} = require('@google-cloud/livestream').v1;

// Instantiates a client
const livestreamClient = new LivestreamServiceClient();

async function callListChannels() {
  // Construct request
  const request = {
    parent,
  };

  // Run request
  const iterable = await livestreamClient.listChannelsAsync(request);
  for await (const response of iterable) {
    console.log(response);
  }
}

callListChannels();

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js. If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.

Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on a best-efforts basis with the following warnings:

  • Legacy versions are not tested in continuous integration.
  • Some security patches and features cannot be backported.
  • Dependencies cannot be kept up-to-date.

Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and can be installed through npm dist-tags. The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version). For example, npm install @google-cloud/livestream@legacy-8 installs client libraries for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

This library is considered to be in beta. This means it is expected to be mostly stable while we work toward a general availability release; however, complete stability is not guaranteed. We will address issues and requests against beta libraries with a high priority.
