Any way to get stream health of a YouTube stream via YouTube API

Is there a way to get the stream health of a stream via the YouTube API?

I am streaming RTSP data using ffmpeg to YouTube and for some reason the stream stops after a certain amount of time and complains it isnt getting any data. I know the RTSP stream is good any my script is still running at the time. If I restart my script, YouTube magically gets data again, but I have to setup the stream again which means a new URL etc (as I have multiple streams running).

Within the YouTube studio, the stream gives a Health readout, weather its 'Good', 'Excellent' or 'No Data': https://pasteboard.co/8KbR7JUxgdGQ.png

Is there a way this is accessible via the YouTube API? If I can know that the stream health has gone 'No Data' I can automate restarting the script to keep the stream alive.

I have read through some of the documentation but cannot find anything obvious.

I can get "liveBroadcastContent": "live" from the API but that just tells me that the stream is live, not if no data is being received.
