### Required and optional parts
|
||||||
|
Please be aware that your extractor has to implement certain parts, but does not have to implement all.
|
||||||
|
This is because not all services support every feature other services support. For example, it might be that a certain
|
||||||
|
service does not support channels. If so, you can leve out the implementation of channels, and make the corresponding
|
||||||
|
factory methode of the your __StreamingService__ implementation return __null__. The forntend will then automatically
|
||||||
|
leave out these parts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
However if you start to implement one of the optional parts of the list below, you have to implement all parts/classes
|
||||||
|
of it. NewPipe will crash if you only implement the extractor for the list item of a channel, but not the channel extractor itself.

### Stream
|
### Stream
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Streams are considered single entities of video or audio, the come along with metainformation like a title, a description,
|
||||||
|
next/related videos, thumbnail and commends. For getting the url to the actual stream data as well as this metainformation
|
||||||
|
StreamExtractor is used. The LinkHandlerFactory will represent a link to such a stream. StreamInfoItemExtractor will
|
||||||
|
extract one item in a list of items representing such Streams, like a search result or a playlist.
|
||||||
|
Since every Streaming service (obviously) provides streams this is required to implement. Otherwise your service was
|
||||||
|
pretty useless :)

### Search
|
### Search
|
||||||
|
The SearchExtractor is also required to be implemented. It will take a search query represented as [SearchQueryHandler](link here),
|
||||||
|
and return a list of search results. Since many services support a suggestion popup while you type you will also want to implement
|
||||||
|
a __SuggestionExtractor__. This will make it possible for the frontend to as well display a suggestion while typing.

### Playlist
|
### Playlist
|
||||||
|
Playlists are lists of streams provided by the service (you may not have to take care about locally saved playlists. This will be handled by the frontend).
|
||||||
|
A playlist may only contains __StreamItems__, but no other __InfoItem__ types.

|
### Channel
|
||||||
|
A Channel is mostly a [Playlist](#playlist), the only diferens is that it does not represent a simple list of streams, but a
|
||||||
|
user, a channel, or any entity that could be represented as a user. This is why the metadata supported by the channel extractor
|
||||||
|
differs form the one of a playlist.
