Twitch Streamer Api

This is a Twitch data api which will automatically update and cache the streamer data. Check out a live demo on live.ratexindex.com.

How does it work?

The api uses the official Twitch api to get the streamer data. You will have to create a new application in the Twitch developer console.

Installation

First you will have to clone the project.

$ git clone https://github.com/Siddhart/Twitch-Streamer-Api

After that open the config.json file

{
    "twitch_clientID": "TWITCH_CLIENT_ID",
    "twitch_secret": "TWITCH_SECRET",
    "cron": "*/10 * * * *",
    "port": 8088,
    "endpoint": "/StreamerData",
    "authToken": "",
    "channels": []
}

Edit Config.json

• twitch_clientID - Enter the Twitch application client ID here (Twitch Developer Console).
• twitch_secret - Generate a api token on the Twitch application page.
• cron - Enter your Update/check interval here (Cron Guru) (this is also the data cache interval).
• port - Enter the port you want the api to be hosted on.
• endpoint - Enter the endpoint for the api.

NOTE: Do NOT change the authToken field. This value will automatically update.

Add streamers

In the config.json there is a channels array. If you want to add streamers you just add new strings to the array.

"channels": ["streamer1", "streamer2", "streamer3"]

Dependencies

In order for the bot to work properly you will have to install express, cron and request. Use the following command to install the dependencies.

$ npm install cron request express

Run the script

After you updated the config.json and installed the dependencies you can run the final command. Use the command in the same directory as the index.js file.

$ node index.js
