URL/API Source: Live Data, Media and AI on OBS Made Simple v0.3.0

The URL/API Source plugin adds a video source that fetches data from a URL / API endpoint or a local file and displays it as formatted text (HTML, CSS), Image and even Audio. You can build dynamic requests, including sending an image, parse output as JSON, XML, HTML and also plain text response body with a Regex to get just the information you need. Set up a timer to keep refreshing the data to get that live feed effect.

If this plugin has been valuable to you consider adding a to the GH repo, rating it here on OBS, subscribing to my YouTube channel, and supporting my work: https://github.com/sponsors/royshil . Check out the Home for Open Source Content Creator AI: https://github.com/occ-ai Join us on Discord !
