Stream Tweeter
Summary
Stream Tweeter is a social media automation tool that uses the Twitch API to publish dynamically generated content and information about a user’s Twitch stream to their own Twitter feed.
A user logs in with their Twitch account and connects their Twitter account. The user then creates tweet templates that can include placeholders for real-time information, such as the currently streaming game. The app subscribes to webhooks for real-time detection of a user's stream status, and on a configurable interval, generates a Twitch Clip from the user’s stream which is then embedded into a tweet.
Additionally, data about the user’s stream is regularly saved to display metrics and a log of created content in the user’s dashboard.
