Retrieve stream metadata

To retrieve stream information, request the URL from the node.

URL format

wss://[hostname]/json_[stream name].js

Example

wss://rye.ceeblue.tv/json_as+c94ca3ca-4f4b-415d-9467-7ae2fb9bf2d2.js

The socket is kept open and receives an update whenever the stream status changes. If the stream is online/active, the received data is identical to the JSON format. If the stream is in any other state, the received data is an object containing an error member variable, which has a value with a human-readable stream status.
