Service providers want to offer live activities to the Nostr network in such a way that participants can easily log and query by clients. This NIP describes a general framework to advertise the involvement of pubkeys in such live activities.
2023-07-08 08:11:22 -04:00
## Concepts
### Live Event
2023-07-08 08:11:22 -04:00
A special event with `kind:30311` "Live Event" is defined as a _parameterized replaceable event_ of public `p` tags. Each `p` tag SHOULD have a **displayable** marker name for the current role (e.g. `Host`, `Speaker`, `Participant`) of the user in the event and the relay information MAY be empty. This event will be constantly updated as participants join and leave the activity.
2023-07-08 08:11:22 -04:00
For example:
```json
2023-07-08 08:11:22 -04:00
{
"kind": 30311,
"tags": [
["d", "<unique identifier>"],
["title", "<name of the event>"],
["summary", "<description>"],
["image", "<preview image url>"],
["t", "hashtag"]
["streaming", "<url>"],
["recording", "<url>"], // used to place the edited video once the activity is over
["starts", "<unix timestamp in seconds>"],
["ends", "<unix timestamp in seconds>"],
["status", "<planned, live, ended>"],
["current_participants", "<number>"],
["total_participants", "<number>"],
["p", "91cf9..4e5ca", "wss://provider1.com/", "Host", "<proof>"],
["p", "14aeb..8dad4", "wss://provider2.com/nostr", "Speaker"],
["p", "612ae..e610f", "ws://provider3.com/ws", "Participant"],
["relays", "wss://one.com", "wss://two.com", ...]
],
"content": "",
...
2023-07-08 08:11:22 -04:00
}
```
A distinct `d` tag should be used for each activity. All other tags are optional.
Providers SHOULD keep the participant list small (e.g. under 1000 users) and, when limits are reached, Providers SHOULD select which participants get named in the event. Clients should not expect a comprehensive list. Once the activity ends, the event can be deleted or updated to summarize the activity and provide async content (e.g. recording of the event).
2023-07-08 08:11:22 -04:00
Clients are expected to subscribe to `kind:30311` events in general or for given follow lists and statuses. Clients MAY display participants' roles in activities as well as access points to join the activity.
2023-07-08 08:11:22 -04:00
Live Activity management clients are expected to constantly update `kind:30311` during the event. Clients MAY choose to consider `status=live` events after 1hr without any update as `ended`. The `starts` and `ends` timestamp SHOULD be updated when the status changes to and from `live`
The activity MUST be linked to using the [NIP-19](19.md) `naddr` code along with the `a` tag.
2023-07-08 08:11:22 -04:00
### Proof of Agreement to Participate
2023-07-08 08:11:22 -04:00
Event owners can add proof as the 5th term in each `p` tag to clarify the participant's agreement in joining the event. The proof is a signed SHA256 of the complete `a` Tag of the event (`kind:pubkey:dTag`) by each `p`'s private key, encoded in hex.
Clients MAY only display participants if the proof is available or MAY display participants as "invited" if the proof is not available.
This feature is important to avoid malicious event owners adding large account holders to the event, without their knowledge, to lure their followers into the malicious owner's trap.

### Live Chat Message
2023-07-08 08:11:22 -04:00
Event `kind:1311` is live chat's channel message. Clients MUST include the `a` tag of the activity with a `root` marker. Other Kind-1 tags such as `reply` and `mention` can also be used.
2023-07-08 08:11:22 -04:00
```json
2023-07-08 08:11:22 -04:00
{
"kind": 1311,
"tags": [
2023-07-21 04:12:02 -04:00
["a", "30311:<Community event author pubkey>:<d-identifier of the community>", "<Optional relay url>", "root"],
2023-07-08 08:11:22 -04:00
],
"content": "Zaps to live streams is beautiful.",
...
}
2023-07-08 08:11:22 -04:00
```
