Improving Livestreams in the Hockey Bundesliga App

As outlined in the previous post, I decided to implement the hockey live streams into my existing Hockey Bundesliga app. While it turned out to be a great feature for users, it also meant a lot of work on every Friday afternoon to find and gather all available livestreams for the upcoming weekend.

​

Fortunately, one website already existed which seemed to be doing the same thing: gathering hockey livestreams. Instead of doing the same workload again, I contacted the person in charge and asked for a cooperation. 

​

To cut a long story short, we developed a way to output a list of all the streams gathered on hockeyliga.live. Now, my app can simply access this list and turn it into a human-friendly list of streams with logos a stream date, etc.

​

[I will soon discuss this process in more detail]
