Live rooms

bilibili Live is a separate surface with its own ids. The live command both looks up a single room and browses the directory.

A single room

bili live 5440
bili live https://live.bilibili.com/5440

The record carries the room's title, the streamer, the area and parent area, the online count, the live status (whether it is broadcasting right now), and the cover. Ask for JSON to get everything:

bili live 5440 -o json

Browsing by area

Without a room id, live browses the directory. Filter by area and page through the rooms that are live now:

bili live --area 1        # rooms in a parent area
bili live --area 1 -n 20  # cap the count

Each row is a room you can then open directly with bili live <room>.
