Implementation Reference

src/restream-client.ts:114-124 (handler)

Core implementation of the update channel status logic, performing PATCH request to Restream API endpoint /user/channels/{channelId} to toggle enabled status.

async updateChannelStatus(channelId: string, enabled: boolean): Promise<Channel> {
  try {
    const response = await this.axiosInstance.patch<Channel>(
      `/user/channels/${channelId}`,
      { enabled }
    );
    return response.data;
  } catch (error) {
    throw this.handleError(error, `Failed to update channel ${channelId}`);
  }
}
