feat: add livestream REST endpoints by mrdarrengriffin · Pull Request #32 · OpenHomeFoundation/web-api

mrdarrengriffin · 2026-07-09T12:05:56Z

Adds a livestream endpoint that reports the YouTube livestream status for
Open Home Foundation project channels (Home Assistant, ESPHome, Open Home
Foundation, Music Assistant). Websites can call this to show upcoming, live, or
recently-ended streams.

Endpoints

GET /livestream — status for all configured channels
GET /livestream/:slug — status for a single channel (e.g. home-assistant);
returns 404 for unknown slugs

Each entry returns a status of live, upcoming, past (within 24h of
ending), or none, plus title, url, and (for upcoming) startTime.

Notes

Channels are config-driven in src/livestream/livestream.channels.ts —
adding a project is a one-line change.
Results are cached per channel (5 min TTL) with in-flight de-duplication;
a failing channel falls back to stale data and doesn't affect the others.
Requires a YOUTUBE_API_KEY (YouTube Data API v3), loaded from .env via
@nestjs/config. See .env.example.
Devcontainer now forwards port 3000 (the app's default) instead of 443.

Pull request overview

This PR introduces a new NestJS livestream feature area that exposes REST endpoints for querying YouTube livestream state for a configured set of Open Home Foundation project channels, backed by YouTube Data API v3 and cached per channel.

Changes:

Add GET /livestream and GET /livestream/:slug endpoints via a new controller/module/service.
Implement YouTube API integration with per-channel caching and in-flight refresh de-duplication.
Wire up global config loading (@nestjs/config) and add developer/supporting files (.env.example, devcontainer port forwarding, .env gitignore).

This solution requires a lot of quota. More than we have available (35x).
We need to come up with a different approach.

What about polling (for each channel):

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCbX3YkedQunLt7EQAdVxh7w

Plus 1 call to extract the necessary data using the actual API (if really needed)

@djwmarcx

Switched from `search` polling to push + adaptive polling

Reworked the livestream feature to cut YouTube API quota while keeping updates near-instant.

Why: search.list costs 100 units/call — polling four channels burns the 10k/day budget fast.

Now:

WebSub push for instant "new/updated video" signals (0 quota).
videos.list (1 unit) to classify live details.
RSS discovery every 5 min (free) to catch scheduled streams push doesn't signal.
Adaptive polling: videos.list every 10s while live/imminent, ~60s otherwise, 0 when idle — catches go-live/ended in ~10s.

Reads are served from memory, so endpoints cost no quota per request.

API:

GET /livestream — all channels
GET /livestream/:slug — one channel

Returns status (live/upcoming/past/none) + title, url, startTime. Channels are config-driven (one-line to add one).

Quota: ~1,080 units for a 3h live event + ~1,150/day discovery — well under 10k.

Deploy: needs YOUTUBE_API_KEY; set PUBLIC_BASE_URL to enable push and PUBSUB_SECRET to verify payloads (see .env.example).

This service uses the YouTube Data API v3 (default quota: 10,000 units/day).

Idle (no livestreams): roughly a few hundred units/day. We poll each channel's RSS feed for free and only make small API calls (1 unit each) every 5 minutes.

During a livestream: slightly higher, but still minimal — we check more often (every 10s) only while a stream is live or about to start, at 1 unit per check.

Bottom line: Normal usage stays well under the 10,000/day limit (single-digit percentage). No quota increase needed unless we add a lot more channels or livestreams run around the clock. Usage is visible in the Google Cloud Console.
