Twitch Chatbot Python Sample

Here you will find a simple Python chatbot using IRC that can help demonstrate how to interact with chat on Twitch.

Installation

After you have cloned this repository, use pip or easy_install to install the IRC library.

$ pip install irc

Usage

To run the chatbot, you will need to provide an OAuth access token with the chat_login scope. You can reference an authentication sample to accomplish this, or simply use the Twitch Chat OAuth Password Generator.

$ python chatbot.py <username> <client id> <token> <channel>

• Username - The username of the chatbot
• Client ID - Your registered application's Client ID to allow API calls by the bot
• Token - Your OAuth Token
• Channel - The channel your bot will connect to

Next Steps

Feel free to augment the chatbot with your own new commands by adding them in the do_command() function.
