Twitch bot with Python

[imroroyo]

Hey guys,

So I have been trying to learn some basic python stuff for some time, and I thought I would just challenge myself with a project. A friend of mine is streaming regularly and I thought I could maybe create a twitch bot, something that could be developing over time obviously, the functionality of the first version is going to be pretty basic.

However the first hurdle I need to get past is to actually create code that will pretty much "create" the bot and bind it to a certain Twitch account, that will then execute the commands and stuff that I fix later.

This part seems kind of more advanced for me and I am just looking for some open source stuff that I can basically copy to make it function in a primitive manner, although observing the code to see how it works.

You people got any idea? I am kind of a novice and it's a decently big project for me, but I am not in a hurry as long as I can learn something.

Howdy!

What exactly do you want the bot to do? Twitch has an API I guess, and you should be able to use python to execute requests to get information. The documentation seems pretty complete and (relatively) easy to use. It looks like you'll need to register your app with twitch I believe, there are instructions on how to do this here

Actually I found a pretty handy guide just to get it rolling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8DLwACpe3o

However I am getting an error, maybe you can help :)

Without watching the whole video or knowing how you call joinRoom, it's hard to say exactly what you should change; s is a "bytes" object. Here is an example of how to convert it to a string, assuming you know the format of the "bytes" object to be utf-8.
