UniFi Protect API — liveview management.

Lists configured liveview layouts for Protect viewports.

Response fields

  • id, modelKey, name
  • isDefault, isGlobal, owner
  • layout — grid layout (1-26)
  • slots — list of %{cameras, cycleMode, cycleInterval}

Summary

Functions

Gets a specific liveview by ID.

Lists liveviews.

Returns a lazy stream that auto-paginates through all liveviews.

Functions

get(client, id)

@spec get(Req.Request.t(), String.t()) :: {:ok, term()} | {:error, UnifiApi.Error.t()}

Gets a specific liveview by ID.

Examples

{:ok, liveview} = UnifiApi.Protect.Liveviews.get(client, liveview_id)
liveview["name"]   # => "All Cameras"
liveview["layout"] # => 4

list(client, opts \\ [])

@spec list(
  Req.Request.t(),
  keyword()
) :: {:ok, term()} | {:error, UnifiApi.Error.t()}

Lists liveviews.

Options

Validated with Keyword.validate!/2 — an unknown key raises ArgumentError rather than being silently dropped. Forwarded to UnifiApi.Client.get/3:

  • :limit — page size (controller default: 25, max: 200)
  • :offset — page offset (default: 0)
  • :filter — UniFi filter expression
  • :params — extra query params, merged verbatim
  • :raw — when true, skip JSON decoding and return the raw response body binary

Pagination — first page only

The endpoint is paginated and the response carries no total count and no cursor, so a full page is indistinguishable from a truncated one. list/2 returns the first page only — use stream/2 to enumerate every liveview. Searching for the default liveview via list/2 can come up empty simply because it sits on a later page.

Examples

{:ok, liveviews} = UnifiApi.Protect.Liveviews.list(client)

# Find the default liveview across every page
default =
  UnifiApi.Protect.Liveviews.stream(client)
  |> Enum.find(& &1["isDefault"])

stream(client, opts \\ [])

@spec stream(
  Req.Request.t(),
  keyword()
) :: Enumerable.t()

Returns a lazy stream that auto-paginates through all liveviews.

Error contract

A mid-stream error does not raise by default: the stream halts and yields {:error, %UnifiApi.StreamError{}, last_offset} as its final element, so the enumerable is heterogeneous. Match the tail:

case Enum.to_list(stream) do
  items when is_list(items) ->
    case List.last(items) do
      {:error, error, cursor} -> {:error, error, cursor}
      _ -> {:ok, items}
    end
end

Pass raise_errors: true to raise UnifiApi.StreamError instead.

Options

  • :limit — items per page (default: 200)
  • :filter — UniFi filter expression
  • :max_pages — halt after this many successful pages (default: unbounded).
  • :max_items — halt once this many items have been yielded (default: unbounded).
  • :raise_errors — raise UnifiApi.StreamError on error instead of yielding the error tuple (default: false).

Examples

UnifiApi.Protect.Liveviews.stream(client)
|> Enum.to_list()
