...

// Get all events in different arrays of the LiveBroadcastStreamModel type 
input.getAllBroadcasts(){ (upcomingEvents, liveNowEvents, completedEvents) in
   ...
}

// Get events separately:
// Get upcoming events
input.getUpcomingBroadcasts() { upcomingEvents in
   ...
} 

// Get Live now events
input.getLiveNowBroadcasts() ( liveNowEvents in
   ...
} 

// Get Completed events
input.getCompletedBroadcasts() ( completedEvents in
   ...
} 

// Create Broadcast
input.createBroadcast(title, description: description, startTime: startDate, completion: { liveBroadcast in

   if let streamName = streamName, let streamUrl = streamUrl {
     completion(streamUrl, streamName)
