twitch-rss

returns a RSS feed from a Twitch category. Intented to be use with newsboat.

Usage

Credentials

Place the twitch-rss binary on the same folder than a file called twitch-rss.secret that has your own:

• <Client ID> on the first line
• <Client Secret> on the second line

See Twitch API Documentation to obtain them

Execution

This will return 20 entries from the category “Software and Game Development”

$ ./twitch-rss -n 20 "Software and Game Development"

Filtering

I personally filter out entries on my RSS reader. On newsboat I added something like this to only get streams from lisp and golang:

ignore-mode    "download"
ignore-article "exec:~/.newsboat/feeds/twitch-rss -n 50 'Software and Game Development'" "title !~ \"lisp\" and title !~ \"golang\""
