Both the OAuth token and Client ID are required when using Twitch’s API as shown above. Clicking on the Overview tab will show you your new registered application and the Client ID associated with the application. Once you have a generated token, you should be able to go to and register a new application to use that OAuth token. An OAuth token can be generated by going to this link here. To create your own bot, you’ll need to create a brand new account for the bot, generate a OAuth token to login into IRC, and get the Client ID of the application. channel_id = r server = '' port = 6667 irc. channel = '#' + channel url = '' + channel headers = r = request. Import irc.bot class TwitchBot (): def _init_ ( self, username, client_id, token, channel ): self. Below class definition and constructor from the linked example. Even though he does a phenomenal job with intracting with his chat, the bot acts as a helping hand in the intraction with the viewers, helping retain and attract more to his channel.įor this twitch bot, I am using a Python library called IRC to help with all of the IRC message parsing (Here is a link to an example bot written in python by TwitchDev). Besides being a tremendous motivation to code in general, he has built himself a twitch bot with features such as changing bot responses to commands like !today which gives the viewer insight into what he is working on that day. This idea/inspiration came from a fellow twitch streamer in the Science & Technology catagory called Adam13531. Thus, I decided to create my own twitch bot for my twitch stream called “SnowForgeBot”. Since I am mainly going to be streaming my programming sessions and also talk tech, I needed to brainstorm personal projects for me to do on stream. After a couple of tries over the years, I am committed to stream consistently on Twitch and have been for a couple weeks now. I have always wanted to try this “live streaming” thing out for a while now.
