Python Script to notify when a new Live Stream is started in SonyLiv.com
I being a huge fan of cricket and my roomie a football freak, It was always a pain in the ass to open SonyLiv and check if the stream has started or not. Then it striked to me as Why shouldn't I write a script which can notify me and my roomie whenever any Stream has started in SonyLiv. With that thought I started going through the Network tab in Chrome Developers Tool and I was able to capture the request through which all current live streams are ebing called.
I started my script with the request to the Url I captured from Network tab. I was able to get all the live streams running in the website in JSON form. I used pynotify to Notify me about the live streams added. After notifing, I saved all those stream data into a csv file so that no streams are repeated. I used schedule to run the function every 5 minutes to check if any new streams are added.
You can also filter the notifications with Sports Type. Just add a new line to check if contentGenre == 'Football' or whatever your required Sport is.
You can add new functions to notify anyone by calling from the extractSonyLivDataLive function.
