# YouTube Chat Webhook Listener (Version 2) - gRPC Implementation
# YouTube Chat Listener (Version 2) - Sustainable Live Chat Exploration
This project aims to create a robust, quota-friendly, open-source, and Linux-compatible solution for monitoring YouTube Live Chat by implementing the recommended `liveChatMessages.streamList` gRPC endpoint. This approach will provide an event-driven, server-push model for receiving live chat messages, effectively eliminating the limitations and quota consumption associated with continuous API polling.
This project aims to create a robust, quota-friendly, open-source, and Linux-compatible solution for monitoring YouTube Live Chat. Our initial research indicated a gRPC endpoint, but further investigation revealed this is not publicly available. Therefore, this project is now focused on a deeper exploration of alternative, sustainable methods to acquire live chat data without relying on continuous, quota-limited API polling or requesting quota increases.
## Project Goal
To build a Python application that leverages the `liveChatMessages.streamList` gRPC endpoint to receive real-time YouTube Live Chat messages, process them, and display them in the terminal with rich formatting. This will ensure a highly efficient and compliant method for sustained live stream monitoring.
To identify and, if feasible, implement a sustainable, quota-friendly, compliant, open-source, and Linux-compatible method for receiving real-time YouTube Live Chat messages, processing them, and displaying them in the terminal with rich formatting. This goal explicitly rules out relying on YouTube Data API v3 quota increases.
