Introduction

This package is aimed to provide a convenient possibility to connect to the APIs provided by the livestreaming plattform Twitch.

Chat Server Interface

Chat Server Todos:

[x] Parse messages
[x] Connect and read messages
[ ] Interface for active communication, i.e. sending messages

In order to connect to the chat the chatreceiver is employed and run within a task:


addr = "irc.chat.twitch.tv"
port = 6667
user = "justinfan8912"
oauth = "dummy"
channel = "xqc"
c = Condition()
message_queue = Channel{AbstractString}(10000)

t = @task Twitch.chatreceiver(addr, port, user, oauth, channel, c, message_queue)
schedule(t)

The received messages are in the current version written to the message_queue in raw string format. The messages can be accessed and parsed as follows:


if isready(message_queue)
    raw = !take(message_queue)
    resp = Twitch.response(raw)
end

The resp now contains a Twitch.Message or Twitch.Notice struct. As the name implies Twitch.Message contains the information of a chat message. If some actions, e.g. bans or time-outs, occurs, the information is stored within a Twitch.Notice.
