How do I get the chat content of a Youtube live event in Java? (not the comment of a normal video)

The API doesn't have connection to live chat at this moment. We are hoping to get that content incorporated into API soon.

  • Thank Ibrahim, please help me another problem. when add a live event, i want to set a privacy that only people that specified by list of emails can access . how to do that? – Kun Dark Oct 17 '14 at 16:20
  • @KunDark that's not possible. The privacy of live events is treated the same way as regular YouTube videos. You could make your live event `unlisted` and send the link out to a certain number of emails. – JAL Dec 09 '14 at 21:23

    @Ibrahim Ulukaya, any timeline one when this content will be available via the API? – JSuar Dec 10 '14 at 21:33
  • This seems like a pretty severe missing feature - I can't imagine anyone would use live chat without this. I won't ever again! –  May 28 '15 at 02:17
  • API's live chat feature is in the works. I'll update once it's available for testing. – Ibrahim Ulukaya Jun 01 '15 at 18:28
  • @IbrahimUlukaya Is this still the case? It's been nearly a year since this question was answered :( – Ed Holloway-George Aug 28 '15 at 08:20
  • We have an API for it in testing stage for now. We hope to have it open eventually. – Ibrahim Ulukaya Aug 31 '15 at 17:47
  • @IbrahimUlukaya Is it still on testing stage? :) – Richard Cotrina Dec 05 '15 at 22:59
  • It is now possible to get the chat messages from **your own broadcast** using the YouTube API: http://stackoverflow.com/a/34438176/2415822 – JAL Dec 23 '15 at 15:02
