## Endpoints

### get_live_broadcasts

Returns all live broadcasts currently listed on the Texas Senate live video page. Each entry includes the program title, scheduled date and time, location, any notes, and the direct URL to the livestream player page. The page refreshes every 2 minutes on the site; results reflect the current schedule at request time. When no broadcasts are scheduled, the broadcasts array will be empty.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

_No parameters required._

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/parse-senate-texas-gov-api-1f9dc399/get_live_broadcasts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_LOCUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'
```

### get_schedule

Returns all live broadcasts from the Texas Senate live video page in a normalized LiveMediaScheduleItem format. Each item includes the program title, date, time, start_time_utc (derived from Central time), stream URL, location as a nested object, inferred status (live if currently airing, otherwise scheduled), description from notes, and video_file (the m3u8 stream URL extracted from the player page). Fields not available from the source (is_early, original_start_date, type, event_id, program_id, duration, duration_minutes, thumbnail, category, format, series_title) are null. The source page only exposes today's broadcasts; if a non-today date is requested, an empty schedule is returned with a note explaining the limitation. Returns a top-level schedule array; empty when no broadcasts are scheduled.

**Estimated cost:** Metered

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `date` | string | No | ISO date YYYY-MM-DD to filter broadcasts. The source only exposes today's schedule; if omitted, today's broadcasts are returned. If a date other than today (US Central time) is provided, an empty schedule is returned with an explanatory note. |

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/parse-senate-texas-gov-api-1f9dc399/get_schedule \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_LOCUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"date":"<string>"}'
