Create and manage channel events

This page shows you how to create and manage Live Stream API channel events. A channel event is a sub-resource of a channel. You can use a channel event to execute operations on a channel resource without needing to stop the channel.

Set up your Google Cloud project and authentication

If you have not created a Google Cloud project and credentials, see Before you begin.

Prerequisites

You must create the following resources before creating a channel event:

1. Create an input endpoint

2. Create a channel

Create a channel event

Make sure to start the channel before creating a channel event.

To create a channel event, use the projects.locations.channels.events.create method. The following event types are supported:

• Ad break event
• Insert slate event
• Return to program event
• Mute event
• Unmute event
• Switch input event

Events can be executed immediately or scheduled to run in the future.

The Live Stream API automatically deletes a channel event seven days after the event is executed. This deletion includes events that have failed.

Ad break event

Use the adBreak object to insert a new ad opportunity.

Use the Return to program event to return from the ad break back to the live stream.

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

• PROJECT_NUMBER: your Google Cloud project number; this is located in the Project number field on the IAM Settings page
• LOCATION: the location where your channel is located; use one of the supported regions
  Show locations
  • us-central1
  • us-east1
  • us-east4
  • us-west1
  • us-west2
  • northamerica-northeast1
  • southamerica-east1
  • asia-east1
  • asia-east2
  • asia-northeast1
  • asia-southeast1
  • australia-southeast1
  • europe-west1
  • europe-west2
  • europe-west3
  • europe-west4
• CHANNEL_ID: a user-defined identifier for the channel
• EVENT_ID: a user-defined identifier for the event

To send your request, expand one of these options:

curl (Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login , or by using Cloud Shell, which automatically logs you into the gcloud CLI . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Save the request body in a file named request.json. Run the following command in the terminal to create or overwrite this file in the current directory:

cat > request.json << 'EOF'
{
  "adBreak": {
    "duration": "100s"
  },
  "executeNow": true
}
EOF

Then execute the following command to send your REST request:

curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" \
     -d @request.json \
     "https://livestream.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/channels/CHANNEL_ID/events?eventId=EVENT_ID"

PowerShell (Windows)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Save the request body in a file named request.json. Run the following command in the terminal to create or overwrite this file in the current directory:

@'
{
  "adBreak": {
    "duration": "100s"
  },
  "executeNow": true
}
'@  | Out-File -FilePath request.json -Encoding utf8

Then execute the following command to send your REST request:

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method POST `
    -Headers $headers `
    -ContentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8" `
    -InFile request.json `
    -Uri "https://livestream.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/channels/CHANNEL_ID/events?eventId=EVENT_ID" | Select-Object -Expand Content

You should receive a JSON response similar to the following:

{
  "name": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/channels/CHANNEL_ID/events/EVENT_ID",
  "createTime": CREATE_TIME,
  "updateTime": UPDATE_TIME,
  "adBreak": {
    "duration": "100s"
  },
  "executeNow": true,
  "state": "PENDING"
}

Switch input event

Use the inputSwitch object to manually switch the channel input. See Create a channel with a backup input stream for more information on creating a channel with additional inputs.

When you manually switch the input, the InputSwitchMode changes to MANUAL. The designated input stream is then always used, even if a backup input stream is configured by the automaticFailover field of the designated input stream. The channel won't switch to the backup input stream when the designated input stream disconnects because automatic failover is disabled. To enable failover again, see Enable automatic failover.

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

Delete a channel event

To delete a channel event, use the projects.locations.channels.events.delete method.

The Live Stream API automatically deletes a channel event seven days after the event is executed. This deletion includes events that have failed.

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

• PROJECT_NUMBER: your Google Cloud project number; this is located in the Project number field on the IAM Settings page
• LOCATION: the location where your channel is located; use one of the supported regions
  Show locations
  • us-central1
  • us-east1
  • us-east4
  • us-west1
  • us-west2
  • northamerica-northeast1
  • southamerica-east1
  • asia-east1
  • asia-east2
  • asia-northeast1
  • asia-southeast1
  • australia-southeast1
  • europe-west1
  • europe-west2
  • europe-west3
  • europe-west4
• CHANNEL_ID: a user-defined identifier for the channel
• EVENT_ID: a user-defined identifier for the event

To send your request, expand one of these options:

curl (Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login , or by using Cloud Shell, which automatically logs you into the gcloud CLI . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Execute the following command:

curl -X DELETE \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     "https://livestream.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/channels/CHANNEL_ID/events/EVENT_ID"

PowerShell (Windows)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Execute the following command:

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method DELETE `
    -Headers $headers `
    -Uri "https://livestream.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/channels/CHANNEL_ID/events/EVENT_ID" | Select-Object -Expand Content

You should receive a JSON response similar to the following:
