Connect to room and listen for data events #4

Closed cristianrat closed 1 year ago

cristianrat commented 1 year ago

Hi @AlexJMohr I'm wondering how (if at all possible) I could connect to a room from the backend, and listen to data events. At the moment the only webhooks livekit supports are on participant leave etc, but not on data messages, I was looking at that option Not having that ability is quite limiting, as I can send WS data, but cannot receive (meaning I have to receive API calls instead) I've been using the channels py library as well, but don't want to use two WS systems - so want to get rid of that one entirely

Hi @cristianrat

It sounds like that is client functionality, which wouldn't be a good fit for this library, which is a server-side SDK. This library is meant to mirror the functionality of the official livekit server SDKs like server-sdk-js. If that's something that the official server SDKs support, then we should too.

Thanks for the quick reply @AlexJMohr Yeah, kinda thought so as well :)
