part STRING Required

The part parameter specifies a comma-separated list of one or more liveStream resource properties that the API response will include. The part names that you can include in the parameter value are id, snippet, cdn, and status

id STRING

The id parameter specifies a comma-separated list of YouTube stream IDs that identify the streams being retrieved. In a liveStream resource, the id property specifies the stream's ID

maxResults INTEGER

The maxResults parameter specifies the maximum number of items that should be returned in the result set

mine BOOLEAN

The mine parameter can be used to instruct the API to only return streams owned by the authenticated user. Set the parameter value to true to only retrieve your own streams

onBehalfOfContentOwner STRING

Note: This parameter is intended exclusively for YouTube content partners.

The onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter indicates that the request's authorization credentials identify a YouTube CMS user who is acting on behalf of the content owner specified in the parameter value. This parameter is intended for YouTube content partners that own and manage many different YouTube channels. It allows content owners to authenticate once and get access to all their video and channel data, without having to provide authentication credentials for each individual channel. The CMS account that the user authenticates with must be linked to the specified YouTube content owner

onBehalfOfContentOwnerChannel STRING

This parameter can only be used in a properly authorized request. Note: This parameter is intended exclusively for YouTube content partners.

The onBehalfOfContentOwnerChannel parameter specifies the YouTube channel ID of the channel to which a video is being added. This parameter is required when a request specifies a value for the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter, and it can only be used in conjunction with that parameter. In addition, the request must be authorized using a CMS account that is linked to the content owner that the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter specifies. Finally, the channel that the onBehalfOfContentOwnerChannel parameter value specifies must be linked to the content owner that the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter specifies.

This parameter is intended for YouTube content partners that own and manage many different YouTube channels. It allows content owners to authenticate once and perform actions on behalf of the channel specified in the parameter value, without having to provide authentication credentials for each separate channel

pageToken STRING

The pageToken parameter identifies a specific page in the result set that should be returned. In an API response, the nextPageToken and prevPageToken properties identify other pages that could be retrieved

etag STRING

Etag of this resource

eventId STRING

Serialized EventId of the request which produced this response

items[] OBJECT

A live stream describes a live ingestion point

items[].cdn OBJECT

Brief description of the live stream cdn settings

items[].cdn.format STRING

The format of the video stream that you are sending to Youtube

items[].cdn.frameRate ENUMERATION

The frame rate of the inbound video data

items[].cdn.ingestionInfo OBJECT

Describes information necessary for ingesting an RTMP or an HTTP stream

items[].cdn.ingestionInfo.backupIngestionAddress STRING

The backup ingestion URL that you should use to stream video to YouTube. You have the option of simultaneously streaming the content that you are sending to the ingestionAddress to this URL

items[].cdn.ingestionInfo.ingestionAddress STRING

The primary ingestion URL that you should use to stream video to YouTube. You must stream video to this URL.

Depending on which application or tool you use to encode your video stream, you may need to enter the stream URL and stream name separately or you may need to concatenate them in the following format:

STREAM_URL/STREAM_NAME

items[].cdn.ingestionInfo.streamName STRING

The HTTP or RTMP stream name that YouTube assigns to the video stream

items[].cdn.ingestionType ENUMERATION

The method or protocol used to transmit the video stream

items[].cdn.resolution ENUMERATION

The resolution of the inbound video data

items[].contentDetails OBJECT

Detailed settings of a stream

items[].contentDetails.closedCaptionsIngestionUrl STRING

The ingestion URL where the closed captions of this stream are sent

items[].contentDetails.isReusable BOOLEAN

Indicates whether the stream is reusable, which means that it can be bound to multiple broadcasts. It is common for broadcasters to reuse the same stream for many different broadcasts if those broadcasts occur at different times.

If you set this value to false, then the stream will not be reusable, which means that it can only be bound to one broadcast. Non-reusable streams differ from reusable streams in the following ways:

• A non-reusable stream can only be bound to one broadcast.
• A non-reusable stream might be deleted by an automated process after the broadcast ends.
• The liveStreams.list method does not list non-reusable streams if you call the method and set the mine parameter to true. The only way to use that method to retrieve the resource for a non-reusable stream is to use the id parameter to identify the stream.

items[].etag STRING
