TwitchHQ

Python library for Twitch.tv

Requirements

• httplib2

Command Line Tool

twitch.py [-h] [--token-file TOKEN_FILE]
[--auth-settings-file AUTH_SETTINGS_FILE] COMMAND

commands:
auth - authenticate with twitch.tv
check - check that saved twitch.tv authentication is valid
channel_info - print channel info
update - update channel information

Currently you must register the application yourself on twitch.tv to use the command line tool. Go here to do so. Once the application is registered copy the client_id, and client_secret from your application settings page on twitch.tv to your .auth_settings file. Follow auth_settings_example for an example .auth_settings file.

Example usage:

$ twitch.py check
Not authenticated!

$ twitch.py auth
Navigate to: https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&scope=channel_editor&scope=channel_read&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost&client_id=blahblahblahsecretstuff
Args (copy the text after the ? in the url): code=blahblahblahblah&scope=channel_read

$ twitch.py update --status 'TF2 Soap DM - Scout' my_channel

Library
