twitch-search

This is a small cli tool to search twitch for online streamers that are under the game and development tag. it will use a client_id and a client_secret to fetch a twitch client_credential token and then use this token to perform a search of the streams currently online on twitch.

To use this you must set TWITCH_CLIENT_ID and TWITCH_CLIENT_SECRET as env variables before searching.

You can as the first argument provide a search String to filter the results.

Example:

$ twitch-search rust

Blacklist

in the code there is a hard coded blacklist of streamer names that you can update if you want the excluded from the search results.

Possible feature upgrades

• change game id through cli arguments (hard coded now to game development)
• update blacklist through cli arguments
• add potential config file
• set client id and secret through cli or through external config file
