# Implement a service

before doing this.
### 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.
__The parts of a service:__
- [Head of Service](#head-of-service)
- [Stream](#stream)
- [Search](#search)
- [Channel](#channel) _(optional)_
- [Playlist](#playlist) _(optional)_
- [Channel](#channel) _(optional)_
- [Kiosk](#kiosk) _(optional)_

Every service has an ID, which will be set when this list gets created. You need to set this ID by entering it in the constructor.
So when adding your service just give it the ID of the previously last service in the list incremented by one.
### 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 :)
- [StreamExtractor](https://teamnewpipe.github.io/NewPipeExtractor/javadoc/org/schabi/newpipe/extractor/stream/StreamExtractor.html)
- [StreamInfoItemExtractor](https://teamnewpipe.github.io/NewPipeExtractor/javadoc/org/schabi/newpipe/extractor/stream/StreamInfoItemExtractor.html)
- [LinkHandlerFactory](https://teamnewpipe.github.io/NewPipeExtractor/javadoc/org/schabi/newpipe/extractor/linkhandler/LinkHandlerFactory.html)
### 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.

- [SuggestionExtractor](https://teamnewpipe.github.io/NewPipeExtractor/javadoc/org/schabi/newpipe/extractor/SuggestionExtractor.html) _(optional)_

- [ListLinkHandlerFactory](https://teamnewpipe.github.io/NewPipeExtractor/javadoc/org/schabi/newpipe/extractor/linkhandler/ListLinkHandlerFactory.html)
### 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.

- [ListLinkHandlerFactory](https://teamnewpipe.github.io/NewPipeExtractor/javadoc/org/schabi/newpipe/extractor/linkhandler/ListLinkHandlerFactory.html)
### 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.
