## Description

real-url is a multi-platform stream resolver and data extraction tool. It functions as a live streaming URL extractor that retrieves direct HLS and m3u8 stream addresses and a live chat data scraper for fetching real-time bullet-chat messages and metadata from various broadcasting platforms.

The project converts platform-specific room identifiers into authenticated media playback links across dozens of services. It includes an HLS stream link parser capable of extracting secure media addresses and the signature tokens required for high-bitrate playback.

The system manages stream quality by selecting specific bitrates and high-definition levels. It provides capabilities for live broadcast data scraping and the integration of live video feeds into third-party software.
