YouTube Live Stream API on the ESP32/ESP8266
The Youtube Live Stream API kind of sucks, but we can still use it to build some cool things.
Some twitch channels have these impressive setups where the live stream chat can interact with physical objects on the stream in real time and I wanted to see if I could achieve similar with the Youtube API directly on an arduino, and while it's never going to be as good as twitch for reasons explained in the video, I wrote a library for it that can be used to build some interesting things. In this video I show you some of the methods and tricks I used to make the library actually usable, including presumably straight up abusing the API terms of service!
00:00 - Intro
00:51 - Issue 1 - How to deal with a larger response
02:54 - Issue 2 - Alternative to the API when they are being unfair
06:09 - Issue 3 - When they don't give you enough credits, we got to get creative
08:33 - What would you build?
