Use the Twitch.tv JSON API

FreeCodeCamp
|-- Front End Development Certification
    |-- Intermediate Front End Development Projects
        |-- Use the Twitchtv JSON API

Objective

Build a CodePen.io app that is functionally similar to this.

User Stories

• I can see whether Free Code Camp is currently streaming on Twitch.tv.
• I can click the status output and be sent directly to the Free Code Camp's Twitch.tv channel.
• If a Twitch user is currently streaming, I can see additional details about what they are streaming.
• I will see a placeholder notification if a streamer has closed their Twitch account (or the account never existed). You can verify this works by adding brunofin and comster404 to your array of Twitch streamers.

Hints

• See an example call to Twitch.tv's JSON API here.
• The relevant documentation about this API call is here.
• Here's an array of the Twitch.tv usernames of people who regularly stream: ["ESL_SC2", "OgamingSC2", "cretetion", "freecodecamp", "storbeck", "habathcx", "RobotCaleb", "noobs2ninjas"]

Update

Due to a change in conditions on API usage explained here Twitch.tv now requires an API key, but we've built a workaround. Use https://wind-bow.gomix.me/twitch-api instead of twitch's API base URL (i.e. https://api.twitch.tv/kraken) and you'll still be able to get account information, without needing to sign up for an API key.
