YouTubeLive

==================

A Node.JS library to connect to YouTube stream chats and grab some of that sweet, sweet data.

YouTubeLive is a Node.JS library designed to connect to YouTube livestreams and receive realtime chat events.

This is particularly useful for use cases where YouTube's official API is too permissions-restrictive

> **Warning:**
This is a reverse-engineering project. Unless you are capable of maintaining it, do not use this in production systems. I do fix issues as they arise, but on my own time.
