A Cloudflare Worker for proxying YouTube Live Chat over WebSockets.
If you have a channel ID, (i.e. "LudwigAhgren" or "UCRAEUAmW9kletIzOxhpLRFw"):
wss://your-worker-endpoint.workers.dev/c/:channelId
If you have a video ID, (i.e. "dAiqTo3N8MU"):
wss://your-worker-endpoint.workers.dev/s/:videoId
Once connected, you will receive JSON encoded messages for each chat event, with the following type definition:
type ChatEvent = {
type: 'message';
id: string; // Chat message ID
message: string; // Chat message text
author: {
name: string; // Author YouTube channel name
id: string; // Author YouTube channel ID
badges: {
tooltip: string; // The tooltip shown when hovering over the badge
type: 'icon' | 'custom';
// When type === 'icon', this is the name of the badge icon.
// When type === 'custom', this is the URL of the badge image.
badge: string;
}[];
};
unix: number; // The unix timestamp of the message
};
