C Span: Get Schedule
C Span via Parse · government_public
Get the TV schedule for a given C-SPAN channel and date. Returns a list of scheduled events and programs with their UTC start times, titles, descriptions, durations, live/scheduled/completed status, m3u8 video stream URLs for live and completed items, category, format, series title, location, thumbnail URLs, and links to detail pages. Each item's date and start_time_utc reflect the actual scheduled air date (extracted from the page's day section headers), not just the requested date. Enriches each item with metadata from the C-SPAN API when available. Items that start earlier than their scheduled slot are flagged with is_early=true; in that case start_time_utc is the actual (earlier) start from the API and original_start_date is the originally scheduled time from the schedule page. Access C-SPAN TV schedules by channel and date, retrieve detailed information about events and programs, get transcripts, and find currently live streams. Fulfilled by Parse from www.c-span.org.
