With the latest updates we are around 50% out of alpha!

[steampoweredtaco]

If you choose to use gotiktoklive you can now expect better stability and the majority of the features tested and working!

The direction of how the library is going to evolve has really solidified over the last couple weeks.

These are the main goals to get out of alpha:

• Have event member names more aligned with TikTok/other libraries.
• Further simplify reconnect and live checking if possible.
• Confirm working of final parity functionality, Feeds.
• Some user event types are still being missed and not streamed to events.

Some of the highlights so far:

• Downloading Lives is much more stable and reliable than even originally.
• ALL methods have been fixed up and verified on the TikTok instance except for Feed.
• Reconnecting is now in the power of the library client, a Live instance will no longer reconnect or not on some kind of unknowable reasoning. There is a DisconnectEvent sent from the library now in all cases and also the live.Event stream will be closed once all available events finish processing. Library clients must check for the stream is closed and reconnect by calling a new Track method if desired using the new live.Event channel, otherwise you'll get a continuous supply of nil events. This is by design and go idiomatic for channel usage.
• There is a new IsLive method that does not require the signer to save on precious rate limited calls to the signer. It does require a new LiveRoomInfo object though, which does scrape the tiktok page. Ongoing investigation on how to simplify this API/process on going.
• The library will now rate limit signer usages to fall within the restricted minute usages provided by the signer. Be warned though, the rate limit can still easily exceed the hourly and daily limits quickly. Use the new IsLive method at a gated rate to ensure a user is live before tracking to prevent calls to the signer.
• Users can be tracked now with or without the leading '@'.
• Lots of behind the scene things to make debugging much much easier.

I am dogfooding the library as I make improvements and have at least one (thank you @Wariie) also developing an app against the alpha. If you want a chance to help guide the rebirth of this Library please join us in discord.
