Twitch Raycast Extension

Raycast extension to search and view information about Twitch users.

Features

• display followed channels

Requirements

• Twitch Client ID - all Twitch integrations require you to register your app with Twitch:

  • Log in to the developer console using your Twitch account.
  • Select the Applications tab on the developer console and then click Register Your Application.
  • Set Name to any name you’d like, it just needs to be unique amongst all Twitch applications.
  • Set OAuth Redirect URLs to http://localhost:3000.
  • Choose any Category of application that you’d like.
  • Capture your Client ID, which you’ll use in the next step to get an OAuth token.

• OAuth token - twitch APIs require access tokens to access resources:

  • Create a simple http server (for exmaple: python -m SimpleHTTPServer 3000 or python3 -m http.server 3000).
  • Replace with your client ID and follow the link: https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/authorize?response_type=token&client_id={{ client_id }}&redirect_uri=http://localhost:3000&scope=user%3Aread%3Afollows.
  • After authorizing your application by clicking Authorize, the server sends the access token to your redirect URI in the fragment portion of the URI (see the access_token parameter).

or just use one of the web services - twitchtokengenerator
