starlette VS streamlink

Fast Execution: FastAPI is built on top of Starlette and Pydantic, making it one of the fastest Python frameworks for building APIs.

The framework's efficiency comes from its use of Starlette for building asynchronous web services and Pydantic for robust data validation and serialization, powered by Python's type hints. Pydantic has recently announced the official release of Pydantic V2 (June 2023), which is a ground-up rewrite that offers many new features and performance improvements, so make sure to be using that instead of V1.

Uvicorn + Starlette 8k requests/s

Starlette documentation

Same here, but without these weird utils it doesn't get any better.

I have 7 YoE with Django. Its great at so many things. You see some code, like middlewares, and immediately understand what's going on.

Now, we also have Starlette. The base of all new, fancy asgi libraries. Here's the base middleware class.

In the last couple of years I heard 'we're running fastapi on production. Wanna join us?' so many times... but the reality is that it's still not suitable for prod. Who wants to work with a code like that if you have a readable, stable Django? I'm clueless.

Set up Starlette, a tool we'll use to make async requests

I never used websockets in FastAPI so I wouldn't know how to guide you more, but Middleware in Websockets are 100% supported by Starlette : https://github.com/encode/starlette/issues/641

Websockets are the way but I would not recommend django as it's still not fully async. I would go for other tools.

It doesn't look like Streamlink is immune to the challenges of Twitch ads: https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues/4949

i can't quite tell what you're asking for but check out https://streamlink.github.io/

Take a look at this: https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/

Streamlink != Steam Link

alternatively, you can use streamlink to stream the video and let it open vlc for you.

A summary of my use case: I like to watch Twitch streams via streamlink. For that purpose I use wtwitch, a terminal program which allows me to maintain a list of my favourite channels without a Twitch account, check which of those streamers are currently online and run a command to open their streams via streamlink.

Streamlink has very detailed and newbie friendly documentation. Here's the plugin you'd need to scrape Kick links.

I believe yt-dlp works and merges everything already for you. I use streamlink https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink for most of twitch stuff and all you have to do is pass in the vod url

Next you will need streamlink, again in the same powershell instance type.
