Twitch Clips Downloader

NodeJS tool to download every clip (and it's metadata) from a Twitch channel

This tool can PROBABLY download ALL clips from a channel (not only the top 1000)

This is not fully tested but seems to work as expected (tested with summit1g at around 163k clips).

Dependencies

• NodeJS
• NPM
• Twitch App Client-ID and Client Secret

How to use

Create an app on Twitch Console

Register an application on Twitch Console, click Manage and copy the Client ID and generate a Client Secret.

Copy .env.example

Just copy (or rename it) the provided .env.example to .env

Fill .env information

You must fill the CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET with your newly created credentials from Twitch Console.

That's it. But if you want to tweak some stuff, here are the descriptions for each variable:

• DEBUG: print some extra information, just keep it false for normal use;
• YOUTUBEDL_INSTANCES: how many concurrent youtube-dl instances should be used to download clips. Don't go too high because youtube-dl is pretty CPU intensive, and if you are storing in a HDD, it's just not worth it to increase beyond 10 instances.

Install NodeJS dependencies

Run this command on your console:

npm install

Run via NPM

Run the script via NPM with (this is needed to get dotenv loaded):

npm run start

Prompts

Each time you run this script, it will ask you for a channel name, and then confirm if you want to download everything.
