Twitch-Api sample

Using the Twitch API sample bundle

The twitch-api example bundle in samples/twitch-api demonstrates the ability to access the twitch API (kraken/helix). Here is a guide to how to get it working.

Prerequisites

You will need a working nodecg-io installation. If you have non yet take a look at installation guide. You may need to install this bundle, so take a look at the “Try an included sample”-Guide. It will also tell you how to log in and how to use the GUI.

You also need:

  • A Twitch oAuth-Key

Note

If you don't have such a key yet, you can generate it on https://twitchtokengenerator.com/, select custom scope token and select the scopes you need. For this sample you don't need any additional scopes, so you can leave everything off.

Configure the Twitch API sample bundle

  1. In NodeCG, create a new twitch-api service instance.

  2. Enter your Twitch OAuth Key:

    {
    "oauthKey": "oauth:abcdef...."
}

    After entering it, click save.

  3. Set the sample's (twitch-api) dependency to be the newly created service instance (of type twitch-api).

  4. Check the NodeCG logs:

    You should see an error or a success message and you current username, how many people you follow and if you are currently streaming.
