About

MiniTwitch is a collection of Twitch libraries for .NET 8.0+ with the goal of providing convenient asynchronous APIs for Twitch services while caring about performance and memory.

Irc, PubSub, and Helix are currently implemented and available as NuGet packages.

Projects

• MiniTwitch.Irc: Twitch chat (IRC) client with full message and event coverage, high-performance parsing, automatic reconnection, and configurable rate-limiting.

• MiniTwitch.PubSub: Twitch PubSub client supporting documented and undocumented topics, multi-token authentication, and automatic topic re-listening.

• MiniTwitch.Helix: Complete wrapper around the Twitch Helix API with pagination, rate-limit tracking, and automatic token validation.

• MiniTwitch.Common: Shared utilities including WebSocket client, async event coordination, logging, and extension methods used by packages.

Subscribing to events

All events use Func<T..., ValueTask> delegates. Subscribing methods must return ValueTask and match the parameter types.

If the method has no asynchronous code, return ValueTask.CompletedTask or default instead of marking it as async.

Subscribing with a named method:

Client.OnMessage += MessageEvent;

private async ValueTask MessageEvent(Privmsg message)
{
    // ...
}

Subscribing with an anonymous function:

Client.OnMessage += async message =>
{
    // ...
};

Note that you cannot unsubscribe from anonymous functions.
