Traktor UDP or external communication possible?

I have a project in mind for which I’d need to send real-time information from Traktor to an external process (e.g., Node.js, Python, etc.). I wanted to ask whether it’s possible to send data externally via QML scripts, for example using UDP. I’m not very familiar with the QML language or its limitations within Traktor, so I’m not sure if it’s feasible. Alternatively, has anyone found another way to do this? Ideally, I would need low-latency communication.

Thanks for any info!

I have found this original work https://github.com/ErikMinekus/traktor-api-client and evolved it further in https://github.com/lsmith77/traktor-logger . Mostly I added a few new features (like deck type) and real-time updates for new cue points, playlist/browser details etc. I also added a UI that displays all the information. All of this uses HTTP, it is fairly low-latency but not instant.

As lsmith pointed to @ErikMinekus (whose name was on my tongue yesterday). :)

That's hilarious^^I can barely keep from laughing.🤣 How are you even supposed to send anything (e.g., Node.js, Python, etc.)😄???? You can use (e.g., Node.js, Python, etc.) to monitor the network and intercept the data packets you send over it (JS/QML).

Also check this, it combines MIDI with my API client. It’s pretty low latency.

Thank you very much sir, this is very helpful! I need to inspect the code deeper but I see an XMLHttpRequest exposed by the engine 👍

Awesome!! Indeed I would like to make something with visualizations integrating Max MSP and Traktor! 😎

The problem was that I had no idea if traktor-qml was capable to do networking. Now I see it has a basic http support, so there is hope
