Question

I had created an live event on youtube and i had associated a custom ingestion (live stream) to that live event.
I am able to get the list of live events by calling
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/liveBroadcasts?part=snippet&broadcastStatus=all

but how to identify that this steam belongs to above specified live event ?

Answer 1

You must use LiveBroadcasts.bind to bind a YouTube broadcast to a stream. Note that a broadcast can only be bound to one video stream, although a video stream may be bound to more than one broadcast. Then, you can use the LiveBroadcasts.list request and check the contentDetails.boundStreamId, which will be the stream associated with that livebroadcast. You'll have to specify part=contentDetails if you want to do this through an HTTP request.
