Twitch Overview#

The Twitch API unlocks a world of possibilities for engaging with live streaming communities and understanding audience behaviors. With Pipedream, you can harness this API to automate many aspects of Twitch interaction and analysis. From tracking stream stats to automating chat messages, the Twitch API lets you create workflows that interact with Twitch's vast live streaming ecosystem. Pipedream's serverless platform streamlines these tasks, making it simple to connect Twitch with other services for enhanced functionalities.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common-polling.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  name: "New Follower",
  key: "twitch-new-follower",
  description: "Emit new event when a new user follows your channel.",
  type: "source",
  version: "0.1.2",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getMeta(item) {
      const {
        user_id, followed_at, user_name,
      } = item;

      return {
        id: user_id + followed_at,
        summary: `${user_name} is a new follower`,
        ts: new Date(followed_at).getTime(),
      };
    },
  },
  hooks: {
    async deploy() {
      // get the authenticated user
      const { data: authenticatedUserData } = await this.twitch.getUsers();
      this.db.set("authenticatedUserId", authenticatedUserData[0].id);
    },
  },
  async run() {
    const params = {
      broadcaster_id: this.db.get("authenticatedUserId"),
    };
    // get the user_ids of the streamers followed by the authenticated user
    const follows = this.paginate(
      this.twitch.getUserFollows.bind(this),
      params,
    );

    for await (const follow of follows) {
      this.$emit(follow, this.getMeta(follow));
    }
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Twitch	`twitch`	`app`	This component uses the Twitch app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

Twitch uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Twitch account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Twitch and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Twitch API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

Node Overview#

Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.

This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.

Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:

Action Code#

import node from "../../node.app.mjs";

export default {
  name: "Run Node Code",
  version: "0.0.2",
  key: "node-run-node-code",
  description: "Write custom Node.js code and use any of the 400k+ npm packages available. Refer to the [Pipedream Node docs](https://pipedream.com/docs/code/nodejs) to learn more.",
  props: {
    node,
  },
  type: "action",
  methods: {},
  async run({
    steps, $,
  }) {
    // Return data to use it in future steps
    return steps.trigger.event;
  },
};
