With the addition of live streaming content to the Data API, you can make it easier for users to find information about these live streaming events:
get search results indicating whether a video is an upcoming or active live broadcast
get both scheduled and actual values of start and end time of the broadcast
get concurrent viewer count of a broadcast
search for live content via eventType filter
