How to create a twtich app

December 23, 2019 ยท View on GitHub

The twitch app provides a client_id which is required to access stream information.

  1. Open the developer dashboard here
  2. Click Register Your Application
  3. Insert a unique name for your application
  4. Set your OAuth redirect URL to http://localhost (this is irrelevant)
  5. Set the category to Chat Bot (also rather irrelevant for our use)
  6. Click Create and Manage on the created application
  7. Copy the Client ID and insert it into your config.json under twitch.client_id
  8. You are done!
