it work well when i use it in the shell ,but when i try to run the API in .py file the error occured

AttributeError: partially initialized module 'streamlink' has no attribute 'streams' (most likely due to a circular import)

You already got your answer here:

Rename your own streamlink.py file to something else, otherwise you can't import the streamlink module/package, because the streamlink name in Python's import system will already be taken by your module.

can i use streamlink to check which stream is live ? if it can, i will be helpful for my project

Streamlink is not really designed for this. It's a really poor choice to use Streamlink for checking whether a particular stream is online/available.

If you're talking about Twitch for example (which I'm sure you do, because you sent me a support question email a few days ago), then use their API instead of Streamlink:

because of the streamlink can check the playable stream , so i was trying to use it to check the available. with it

can i use the stream url for the stream after i get the url ?

can i use the stream url for the stream after i get the url ?

Depends on the stream's expiration time and other parameters
