What is Twitch Requests?

Twitch Requests is basically an advanced EventEmitter which adds a 'live' listener and 'unlive' listener. It can be used to detect if a streamer has gone live

Installation

npm install twitchrequest

const { Client } = require('twitchrequest');

const options = {
    // The channels you are listening to (all in lowercase)
    channels: ["destiall"],

    // Your client ID
    client_id: "your client id",

    // Your client secret
    client_secret: "your client secret",

    // The interval it will check (in seconds)
    interval: 3
};
const client = new Client(options);

client.on('live', (data) => {
    console.log(`${data.name} is now live! Streaming ${data.title} on ${data.game}! Started at ${data.date}`);
});

Events

This event is called when a channel included in the options goes live.

client.on('live', (streamData) => {
    // Do stuff
});

This event is called when a channel included in the options stops streaming.

client.on('unlive', (streamData) => {
    // Do stuff
});

This event is called when a user follows a channel EXPERIMENTAL.

client.on('follow', (userData, streamData) => {
    // userData is the user that followed
    // streamData is the StreamData that the user followed to
});

This event is called every interval set in the options.

client.on('debug', (streamData) => {
    // Do stuff
});

If you want subscription events or chat events, use npm i tmi.js instead!

Methods

This method can be used to get a specific StreamData of a channel.

const streamData = await client.getStream('username');
// Do stuff

This method can be used to get a specific UserData of a channel.

const userData = await client.getUser('username');
// Do stuff

This method can be used to add a channel to the list of channels to listen to.

client.addChannel('username');

This method can be used to remove a channel from the list of channels to listen to.
