Command line returns Error 410

Hey,

As of today or yesterday, trying to download a chat log returns an Error: The remote server returned an error: (410) Gone. error. The VoD is available and returns the same error with any other VoD.

Any chance there were updates on Twitch's side and the tool needs updates?

I'm getting the same error. Something may have changed on Twitch's end. I might dig into it if I find some time.

EDIT: They may have killed the endpoint given that it wasn't officially supported according to this Twitch dev https://discuss.dev.twitch.tv/t/so-no-more-video-comments-api/39259/2

Yes Twitch removed the API endpoint it was using. I watched a VOD on Twitch's site while monitoring the network requests and found the chat stuff in a URL ending with "/gql" which matches up with the discussion here. Honestly I don't even use RechatTool myself anymore so I'm not super motivated to fix it, but I might give it a try anyway 😄

I would greatly appreciate it if you tried to fix it, @jdpurcell ! I've been using the tool for over a year now and it's great!

Fixed by 5c615aa. New version has been released.

Awesome, thanks!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your work!

Appreciate you fixing it as I have been using this for several years not and it has been pretty helpful. Apologies if I don't fully understand but what exactly do I do to make it work? I've been using Windows Powershell and I know the usual step is to do ./RechatTool - D and whatever the VOD Id is. Now when I do it, it says I have to download .NET and I have but it's still not working. Am I missing a step? Again sorry if I don't understand

[jdpurcell]

@terran244 Did you download the CrossPlatform or Windows zip from the releases? I would recommend the Windows one. It requires .NET Framework 4.6.2 (or newer within the 4.x series) which shouldn't be a problem for most people. As long as Windows Updates have been installed recently and you're not running Windows Vista or older, you shouldn't need to download any .NET runtimes.

[terran244]

Okay. I'll reinstall the windows version and see if it works from there

[terran244]

Okay it works now thanks for the help and clarification!
