> Fetch YouTube live chat without API
ā¢ ***You will need to take full responsibility for your action*** ā¢
1. Install
- `npm i youtube-chat`
- `yarn add youtube-chat`
2. Import
- Javascript
```javascript
const { LiveChat } = require("youtube-chat")
```
- Typescript
```typescript
import { LiveChat } from "youtube-chat"
```
3. Create instance with ChannelID or LiveID
```javascript
// If channelId is specified, liveId in the current stream is automatically acquired.
// Recommended
const liveChat = new LiveChat({channelId: "CHANNEL_ID_HERE"})
// Or specify LiveID in Stream manually.
const liveChat = new LiveChat({liveId: "LIVE_ID_HERE"})
```
4. Add events
```typescript
// Emit at start of observation chat.
// liveId: string
liveChat.on("start", (liveId) => {
/* Your code here! */
})
// Emit at end of observation chat.
// reason: string?
liveChat.on("end", (reason) => {
/* Your code here! */
})
// Emit at receive chat.
// chat: ChatItem
liveChat.on("chat", (chatItem) => {
/* Your code here! */
})
// Emit when an error occurs
// err: Error or any
liveChat.on("error", (err) => {
/* Your code here! */
})
```
5. Start
```typescript
// Start fetch loop
const ok = await liveChat.start()
if (!ok) {
console.log("Failed to start, check emitted error")
}
```
6. Stop loop
```typescript
liveChat.stop()
```
```typescript
interface ChatItem {
author: {
name: string
thumbnail?: ImageItem
channelId: string
badge?: {

label: string
}
}
message: MessageItem[]
superchat?: {

}
isMembership: boolean

```
