Twitch Chat Monitor

Twitch Chat Monitor. Monitors Twitch chat and outputs matching regex using Selenium & BeautifulSoup. Written in Python3.

Limitations

• Only press ctrl+c ONCE to exit. Pressing it multiple times could leave the browser driver to run in the background even though program is closed.
• Currently only works with popout chats
• Only tested on Windows. May need modification for other OSs.

Requirements

• Chrome Browser
• Chrome Driver
• Python 3 & pip (or some variant)
• Dependencies in requirements.txt

How It Works

• It scans through Twitch Chat and looks for matches of regex in "keywords.txt"
• Add regex to this file and seperate with new lines
• Once a match is found it will output the username and the message that matched.
• Messages stored in array will flush at around 5000~ messages to reduce ram usage.

   • Unzip and place .exe in the folder: drivers/chrome

4. Open CMD in program directory and run:

To Do

• Executable?
• Add more driver support
