    • this functionality now handled by /auth/:id endpoint

DBService

Other changes

MtheBot_ v1.2

A lot has changed in this release of MtheBot_. Some of these changes may have slipped my mind and not show up here, but this should cover the major ones.

Changes

• DB structure changes
  • This isn't necessarily reflected in the code here, but a major change in structure has occurred
  • commands/timers/events all have their own table now indexed by channel uid
    • this is a major improvement on the previous method of storing all the data in one JSON field in the DB
• API Improvements
  • Following a more standard RESTful API structure
    • POST for new data, PUT to change existing
    • GET for both all and by value for all data endpoints
  • Validate incoming request data for correct structure/data types
  • Update functionality under the hood for DB structure changes
  • Token validation done using more correct Twitch endpoint
    • Allows for better error response handling and detection of impending token expiration
    • Prioritize token expiration before token mismatch for 401 responses
  • General code quality improvements and bugfixes
• Channels are indexed in the DB by UID rather than by name
  • This will prevent the inevitable errors caused by a user changing their name, thus making it impossible to fetch their data
• Improved DB querying
  • made possible by the previous two points
• bot logs now timestamped for logs relating to bot activity
  • API log timestamps coming at some point in the future
• Postman Collections updated to reflect changes made

Additions

• Initial Doc created
  • Skeleton of where things will be
  • API Doc first iteration completed

MtheBot_ v1.1.1

MtheBot_ v1.1.1: Minor External API Improvements

Changes

• Reduce code repetition by putting https request in one method
  • call on this method for all API requests
  • reduces clutter of code that gets repeated
  • allows for only the need for data manipulation in specific functions

MtheBot_ v1.1.0

MtheBot_ v1.1.0: Command Improvements

In this minor version upgrade, I have added several new things related to bot commands as well as a small API change/addition.

Additions

• Auth API
  • User posts auth token from UI for authentication with Twitch API
  • Auth token is AES encrypted in the DB
• Command Datatags v1
  • Adds datatags for commands
  • Supports basic data for the message: {{sender}}, {{channel}}
  • Supports user-level channel commands: {{commands}}
  • Supports Twitch API for the following: {{followage}}, {{followcount}}, {{subcount}}, {{uptime}}, {{game}}

Changes

• Minor contact API change for email structure
• Allow all private requests in development mode

MtheBot_ V1.0.1

Changes

• Require Auth header from API request to private APIs
  • Should include Bearer token received from Twitch auth

Additions

• Session pooling
  • due to change above, auth requires call to Twitch API to verify identity of callee in private API requests
  • keeps performance good by pooling sessions and requiring re-verification after 5 minutes of inactivity
• Contact API
  • Users may send a request to this API to send an email to the Bot host
  • Utilizes gmail credentials with nodemailer

Removals

• origin checks, as they were not the right way to verify access to private API
