Clone

Clone this repository to your local machine using git clone https://github.com/Ridgure/TwitchBot.git

Setup

In order to be able to run the bot add a file config.py in the same folder as the bot and go through the steps below: config.py should look something like this:

Host = "irc.twitch.tv" # The Twitch IRC server Port = 6667 # Always use port 6667! Nickname = "<Name>" # Your Twitch username, lowercase FollowerToken = "<Token>" # Token generated by twitchapps.com/tmi without the oauth: part SubscriberToken = "<Token>" # Self generated token Channel = "#<Channel>" # The channel you want to join ClientID = "<ClientID>" # Your client ID

• Create a Twitch account with the name of your bot
• Register your application on the Twitch developer site
  • Set the Name to the name of the account you just created
  • Set the redirect uri to http://localhost
  • Set the application directory to Chat Bot
  • Agree to the terms and conditions
  • Get a Client_ID and a Client_Secret
• Generate your token for accessing follower data and chat
  • Go to Get token here and click connect with twitch
  • Click Authorize
  • Your token should look something like this: oauth:a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j1k2l3m5n6o7
• Generate your token for accessing subscriber data
  • Go to the link underneath
  • Remember to swap out <clientID> with your client id!
  • Click Authenticate
  • It will look like you got a blank page but your url should look like the second url
  • Your access token is the gibberish where it says Token in the url

https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/authorize?client_id=<clientID>&redirect_uri=http://localhost&response_type=token&scope=channel_subscriptions+user_read+channel_check_subscription+chat_login http://localhost/#access_token=<Token>&scope=channel_subscriptions+user_read+channel_check_subscription+chat_login&token_type=bearer
