StevoTVRBot

This application lives on my server to supply a custom API for the StreamElements chat bot on the StevoTVR Twitch channel. This allows us to add custom chat responses via the customapi variable.

Configuration

The configuration for the application is found in the src/inc/Config.php file (rename Config.php.example if installing fresh).

Option	Description
DBHOST	The hostname of the MySQL database server
DBUSER	The name of the user to use for accessing the MySQL database
DBPASS	The password for the user to use for accessing the MySQL database
DBNAME	The name of the MySQL database
SECRET	The secret string required by API requests
SE_CHANNEL_ID	Your StreamElements channel ID*
SE_JWT_TOKEN	The JWT token for your StreamElements channel*

* You can find your StreamElements channel ID (Account ID) and JWT Token from your StreamElements channels page (enable "Show secrets").

Implementation

Chat commands are implemented in the StreamElements chat bot using the ${customapi} variable. In the response string:

${customapi.https://<BASE_URL>/bot?input=${queryescape ${0:}}&user=${queryescape ${user}}&secret=<SECRET>}

Replace <SECRET> with the value of Config::SECRET. Since the secret is included in the URL, the chat commands must be hidden in public pages.
