<h1 id="concept-of-the-linkhandler">Concept of the LinkHandler</h1>
<p>The <a href="https://teamnewpipe.github.io/NewPipeExtractor/javadoc/org/schabi/newpipe/extractor/linkhandler/LinkHandler.html">LinkHandler</a>
represent links to resources like videos, search requests, channels, etc.
The idea is that a video can have multiple links pointing to it, but it has
one unique ID that represents it, like this example:</p>
<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0">oHg5SJYRHA0</a> can be represented as:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0</a> (the default URL for YouTube)</li>
<li><a href="https://youtu.be/oHg5SJYRHA0">https://youtu.be/oHg5SJYRHA0</a> (the shortened link)</li>
<li><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0</a> (the link for mobile devices)</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="importand-notes-about-linkhandler">Importand notes about LinkHandler:</h3>
<ul>
<li>A simple <code>LinkHandler</code> will contain the default URL, the ID, and the original URL.</li>
<li><code>LinkHandler</code>s are read only.</li>
<li><code>LinkHandler</code>s are also used to determine which part of the extractor can handle a certain link.</li>
<li>In order to get one you must either call
<a href="https://teamnewpipe.github.io/NewPipeExtractor/javadoc/org/schabi/newpipe/extractor/linkhandler/LinkHandlerFactory.html#fromUrl-java.lang.String-">fromUrl()</a> or <a href="https://teamnewpipe.github.io/NewPipeExtractor/javadoc/org/schabi/newpipe/extractor/linkhandler/LinkHandlerFactory.html#fromId-java.lang.String-">fromId()</a> of the the corresponding <code>LinkHandlerFactory</code>.</li>
<li>Every type of resource has its own <code>LinkHandlerFactory</code>. Eg. YoutubeStreamLinkHandler, YoutubeChannelLinkHandler, etc.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="usage">Usage</h3>
<p>The typical usage for obtaining a LinkHandler would look like this:</p>
<pre><code class="java">LinkHandlerFactory myLinkHandlerFactory = new MyStreamLinkHandlerFactory();
LinkHandler myVideo = myLinkHandlerFactory.fromUrl(&quot;https://my.service.com/the_video&quot;);
</code></pre>
<h3 id="implementation">Implementation</h3>
<p>In order to use LinkHandler for your service, you must override the appropriate LinkHandlerFactory. eg:</p>
<pre><code class="java">class MyStreamLinkHandlerFactory extends LinkHandlerFactory {
@Override
public String getId(String url) throws ParsingException {
// Return the ID based on the URL.
}
@Override
public String getUrl(String id) throws ParsingException {
// Return the URL based on the ID given.
}
@Override
public boolean onAcceptUrl(String url) throws ParsingException {
// Return true if this LinkHanlderFactory can handle this type of link
}
}
</code></pre>
<h3 id="listlinkhandler-and-searchqueryhandler">ListLinkHandler and SearchQueryHandler</h3>
<p>List based resources, like channels and playlists, can be sorted and filtered.
Therefore these type of resources don't just use a LinkHandler, but a class called
<a href="https://teamnewpipe.github.io/NewPipeExtractor/javadoc/org/schabi/newpipe/extractor/linkhandler/ListLinkHandler.html">ListLinkHandler</a>,
which inherits from LinkHandler and adds the field <a href="https://teamnewpipe.github.io/NewPipeExtractor/javadoc/org/schabi/newpipe/extractor/linkhandler/ListLinkHandler.html#contentFilters">ContentFilter</a>,
which is used to filter by resource type, like stream or playlist, and
<a href="https://teamnewpipe.github.io/NewPipeExtractor/javadoc/org/schabi/newpipe/extractor/linkhandler/ListLinkHandler.html#sortFilter">SortFilter</a>,
which is used to sort by name, date, or view count.</p>
<p><strong>!!ATTENTION!!</strong> Be careful when you implement a content filter: No selected filter equals all filters selected. If your get an empty content filter list in your extractor, make sure you return everything. By all means, use "if"
statements like <code>contentFilter.contains("video") || contentFilter.isEmpty()</code>.</p>
<p>ListLinkHandler are also created by overriding the <a href="https://teamnewpipe.github.io/NewPipeExtractor/javadoc/org/schabi/newpipe/extractor/linkhandler/ListLinkHandlerFactory.html">ListLinkHandlerFactory</a>
additionally to the abstract methods this factory inherits from the LinkHandlerFactory you can override
<a href="https://teamnewpipe.github.io/NewPipeExtractor/javadoc/org/schabi/newpipe/extractor/linkhandler/ListLinkHandlerFactory.html#getAvailableContentFilter--">getAvailableContentFilter()</a>
and <a href="https://teamnewpipe.github.io/NewPipeExtractor/javadoc/org/schabi/newpipe/extractor/linkhandler/ListLinkHandlerFactory.html#getAvailableSortFilter--">getAvailableSortFilter()</a>.
Through these you can tell the front end which kind of filter your service supports.</p>
<h4 id="searchqueryhandler">SearchQueryHandler</h4>
<p>You cannot point to a search request with an ID like you point to a playlist or a channel, simply because one and the
same search request might have a different outcome depending on the country or the time you send the request. This is
why the idea of an "ID" is replaced by a "SearchString" in the <a href="https://teamnewpipe.github.io/NewPipeExtractor/javadoc/org/schabi/newpipe/extractor/linkhandler/SearchQueryHandler.html">SearchQueryHandler</a>
These work like regular ListLinkHandler, except that you don't have to implement the methods <code>onAcceptUrl()</code>
and <code>getId()</code> when overriding <a href="https://teamnewpipe.github.io/NewPipeExtractor/javadoc/org/schabi/newpipe/extractor/linkhandler/SearchQueryHandlerFactory.html">SearchQueryHandlerFactory</a>.</p>
