User guide

import YTLiveStreaming

...

let input: YTLiveStreaming = YTLiveStreaming

...

// Get all events in different arrays of the LiveBroadcastStreamModel type 
input.getAllBroadcasts(){ (upcomingEvents, liveNowEvents, completedEvents) in
   ...
}

// Get events separately:
// Get upcoming events
input.getUpcomingBroadcasts() { upcomingEvents in
   ...
} 

// Get Live now events
input.getLiveNowBroadcasts() ( liveNowEvents in
   ...
} 

// Get Completed events
input.getCompletedBroadcasts() ( completedEvents in
   ...
} 

// Create Broadcast
input.createBroadcast(title, description: description, startTime: startDate, completion: { liveBroadcast in
   if let liveBroadcast = liveBroadcast {
      ...
   }
})

// Update of the existing broadcast: LiveBroadcastStreamModel
input.updateBroadcast(broadcast, completion: { success in
    if success {
       ...
    }      
})

// Start broadcast streaming video
input.startBroadcast(broadcast, delegate: self, completion: { streamName, streamUrl, _ in
   if let streamName = streamName, let streamUrl = streamUrl {
     completion(streamUrl, streamName)
   }
})

// Finish broadcast streaming video
input.completeBroadcast(broadcast, completion: { success in
   if success {
      ...
   }
})

// Delete broadcast video from YouTube
input.deleteBroadcast(id: broadcastId, completion: { success in
    if success {
