Viewer Count Fetcher

This application fetches the live viewer count from a YouTube live broadcast using the YouTube Data API. It handles OAuth 2.0 authentication, including token refresh, and retrieves the current number of viewers for the user's active live broadcast. I use this currently to display my live viewer count as a segment in my terminal prompt while streaming.

Settings

Create an appsettings.json file in the root of the project and supply the settings as shown in the appsettings.Example.json file.
