twitchcord

Twitch stream notifications on Discord in (usually) less than 60 seconds

This version of twitchcord is now deprecated.

Check Here for a version that uses the new twitch API

Originally made by myself for Jeremy Dooley's Twitch/Discord Community, this handy little node script will check any streams specified once per minute and send a webhook to Discord if they're live.

---

Setup:

• First you're going to need to Make a New Twitch Application
  • Give it a clever name
  • Set the Redirect URI to http://localhost
  • Accept the terms
• Copy the Client ID from you new Twitch Application and set twitchAuth.clientID to it in config.json (Paste it at Line 3, Column 18)
  • Save config.json
• Run npm i

Your App is now (technically) functional!

Configuration:

I'd like to think the config.json is fairly straightforward...

• Each object in streams is a different streamer that the script will check
  • id is the Unique Account ID of the twitch streamer (You can get this from TwitchTools)
  • nickname is only used internally, but makes it easier for you to distinguish which stream is which
  • latestStream is the variable modified by the program to make sure it only sends out one round of notifications per stream
  • receivers is an array of sub-objects for each notification you want to send out.
    • nickname Again, only used internally; the nickname for this server/channel/webhook link you're sending out
    • customMessage is the message sent above the embed. If you want to ping everyone, or a certain group of users, this is where you can put that.
    • webhook is the actual webhook URL that you get from Discord
