Currently supported parliaments:
- Australian Capital Territory
- Federal
- New South Wales
- Northern Territory
- Queensland
- South Australia
- Tasmania
- Victoria
- Western Australia
Setup

Mac
Install with brew:
brew install ffmpeg
Windows
Official Windows builds of ffmpeg can be found here
Print out stream URLs:
Every parliament module returns data the same way, Victoria is used here only for example purposes.
The stream_urls
property can be used to return streams as a dict:
from legistream_backend.vic import Stream
print(Stream().stream_urls)
Each URL can be returned individually by using the [house]_stream_url
property (e.g lower_stream_url
)
print(Stream().lower_stream_url)
Check if a parliament's house is live:
Similarly, you can check the status of a live stream with the [house]_is_live
boolean property.
if(Stream().lower_is_live):
print('The lower house of Victoria is currently live.')
else:
print('The lower house of Victoria is not currently live.')
Notes
The South Australia stream extractor uses code adapted from the streamlink ustreamtv implementation.
