Hello. I have a live music show that is hosted on Mixlr.com. I plan to embed the show on the website; however, I would like to have some kind of indicator that shows up on the home page when the show is live. Any ideas on how to accomplish this? I thought the simplest thing would be a lightbox that is triggered somehow when the embedded site is playing music. is this possible? All help is much appreciated.
Hi,
I would start with checking whether this service has a REST API t o check every few seconds / minutes if a show is live or not. If so, you can use the Fetch API to get this information and show an indicator if a show is live.
Good luck,
Tal.
Hello Tal:
This sounds promising. I am a newbie and learning as I go. Any ideas on where I would look to see if this program has a REST API?
Hi Tiffany,
I think explore their service and if that doesn’t work, you should contact their support.

Hey:
It seems like Mixlr.com is very tight lipped about their API. So that got me to thinking about a work around. Whenever the particular show goes live on their site, they send out a notification to subscribers of the site. I usually get an email, an app notification, and a separate pop up app notification when it the show is live. As I said, I am a newbie at this, but I was thinking maybe i could use the notification some way to trigger some type of notification on the wix site (ie. “Live Now” text or lightbox).
