simple-twitch-chat-listener

Seeing the pure lack of twitch chat bots that are only meant for listening in and not requiring oauth tokens I decided to make my own.

This package is only meant for Twitch chat and is only capable of receiving messages, not sending

Pros:

• Does not require a oauth token
• Extremely simple setup
• Chat listener runs on a separate thread

Cons:

• Not much experience with edge case error handling

Installation

pip install -U simple-twitch-chat-listener

Example usage

from simple_twitch_chat_listener import TwitchChatListener

def my_message_handler(username, message):
    print(f"{username}: {message}")

tc = TwitchChatListener("goldenbeaster")
tc.set_client_message_handler(my_message_handler)
tc.start()

# Place your code here
import time
time.sleep(10)
# endof place your code here

# once you want to stop the service
tc.stop()
