Several years ago I created an app in C2 that could connect to my Twitch Chat using websockets. It allowed me to do all kinds of fun things.

Several years later, I'm looking to do the same thing with YouTube, however it doesn't use websockets. Does anyone have any, or know of any example of someone using the YouTube API in a C3 application? The resource I am most wanting to implement is LiveChatMessage.

With the inclusion of writing and using scripts in C3, I thought this might be an easier thing to accomplish now.

Any advice? Tutorial?

Thanks all,

Ed

Looks like you might be able to use Ajax, Cors not withstanding.

Load the the return into the Json object for parsing.

Newt, do you think you could give a quick example? I think I kind of follow what you mean.

I'll do some research on using Ajax to get youtube live chat.

Something like this?

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/liveChat/messages?key=[YOUR_API_KEY]

Need to figure out how to get my chatID and API key.

Ok, but I don't think it will work in C3 until its exported, and hosted.

Thanks buddy, I'll check it out.

I did just build URL with my api key (which I had to create through google dev) and my chatID and I'm able to pull my Chat in json. Very exciting, I'll check out your example now. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I was making it way more complicated than it needed to be. :)
