3 months ago Possibly create a discord bot where you can request multiple streams to be recorded to
yea its possible, currently i broken the code up into microservices and hosted it on google cloud so that it can run 24/7 and record as many users streams as i want.
But for discord bots, you will need to look into how to first create a discord bot using a tutorial or documents, from my understanding you will need to host that bot somewhere. Then you will listen for commands that are sent on a discord channel(ie tiktok username) and send that to your recording service
HOW I WOULD DO IT:
- create a discord bot that accepts a tiktok username
- add that name to a nosql google firestore DB
- create a google cloud scheduler that runs every 5mins and calls a google cloud function
- google cloud function will query for users in the firestore DB that are not live and send that to a google cloud task(queue)
- google cloud task will send that to another google cloud function to record the user
- the record service will record the users and then after the streaming ends it will run 5 10seconds loops to double check that the user is still online or offline, if the user is online it will requeue or else it will set that user record to false
Additional Info:
- google cloud functions by default only run for 60 seconds but can run a max of 60minutes, so you will need to increase the cloud function runtime and adjust the video duration(mine is 45mins)
- if your going to be making alot of request then look into services that offer residential proxy ip address like brightdata so that tiktok doesnt block you(it cost money)
- there is something else that is important but I cant remember it right now
