Prometheus Exporter for the Twitch.tv API

Proof of Concept, using (deprecated) v5 (Kraken) Twitch API

Usage

Copy example.env to .env, and modify as necessary:

Variable	What it does
LOG_LEVEL	Log verbosity of the exporter. Options are: debug, info, warn, error
KRAKEN_CLIENT_ID	Twitch API Client ID You can get one from https://glass.twitch.tv/console/apps
TWITCH_CHANNELS	Comma-separated list of Twitch channels to monitor

Local

Run locally with:

go run *.go

Docker

Launch the exporter, as well as a prometheus instance with:

docker-compose up -d

Prometheus will be available, on http://localhost:9090

The docker-compose file also comes with Grafana, with a pre-configured dashboard, on http://localhost:3000 (username/password: admin/foobar)

If you want to add more channels, just modify .env, and reload the exporter with:

docker-compose up -d twitch_exporter

TODO

• Migrate to the new (Helix) Twitch API

  • Helix should already provide most, if not all, of the necessary functionality, so migrate to that at some point
  • https://github.com/nicklaw5/helix

• Bundle prometheus and grafana configs up into docker images

• Automate builds

• Track followers for non-live channels (less frequently)

• Track how viewers are subs, followers, regulars, first time, etc. if possible

• Run this somewhere. ECS?
