About The Project

This chatbot retrieves live football scores via the API-FOOTBALL API and posts the updates in real-time to a Twitch channel, enhancing engagement around football conversations. While the API architecture provides extensive capabilities (see below), this script focuses specifically on posting live football fixtures. The intended audience is football fans and bettors who want real-time updates surfaced right in Twitch chats.
