I’m having a problem with the Sub Age command, its saying someone has been subbed for 2 months when they have been subbed for 9 in a row.

111

Please PM me the Twitch token and the subscriber’s Twitch name so I can look into it. Thanks!

There was one of these at some point that I saw, however it seems the site has gone down. I’d love to make one of these for fun some day but unfortunately right now I don’t have the time as it’s such an extensive project. If I do end up making one I’ll tag you.

Yea I saw that sadly the site is down. Thanks a lot the command isn’t needed straight away if you ever create the command for fun in a couple of months or a couple of years I’ll be very thankful

I am trying to integrate the latest subscriber name in my HTML5 overlay through Javascript/AJAX and looking for an API to retrieve the latest/newest subscriber rather than a random subscriber any possibility to realize this?

Curious thing is when I try to retrieve the information through javascript/AJAX and set the datatype to any other acceptable type than json it returns nothing in the .done() section. However if I set json as expected datatype it returns the data I need (msg.responseText) however it always triggers the .fail() of the AJAX call.

$.ajax({
  type: "GET",
  url: "https://apis.rtainc.co/twitchbot/randomsub",
  data: {
    "token": "<MY TOKEN>",
  },
  crossDomain: true,
  dataType: "json",
})
  .done( function(msg){
    console.log("done");
    console.log(msg);
  })
  .fail( function(msg){
    console.log("fail");
    console.log(msg);
  });

I’d recommend using Twitch’s API directly for this, which supports CORS requests.

$.get("https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/<CHANNEL>/subscriptions?direction=DESC&limit=1&oauth_token=<TOKEN>").done(function(sub) {
    console.log(data.subscriptions[0].created_at); // "2015-10-14T19:56:06Z"
    console.log(data.subscriptions[0].user.display_name); // "rtainc"
});

Yea I have looked into that of course but my problem was the oauth_token that I could not generate myself just for my own HTML overlay. But I am using now the token generated by the link above the main post and it works, so thanks :smiley:

Any idea how long the oauth_token stays valid before I have to change it in my overlay code?

116

As far as I know, Twitch doesn’t follow oauth2 spec, so the token will stay valid forever. Glad it worked!

Is there a custom api to show the current time a command is used. I’d like to use it in a command for taking breaks

118

Sorry, I don’t quite understand what you mean. Can you explain a bit more?

Hello,

I took the code of the Jaden Smith tweet generator (http://jadensmithtweetgenerator.tumblr.com/), and made it into an API ready to use by Nightbot.

I’m hosting it on a free webhost at the moment, so the domain might be seen as untrusted, so I’m sorry about that.

Kind regards,
Freitbot

I just want to let you know that the thing your checking with https://apis.rtainc.co/twitchbot/subbed?token=TOKEN&user=USER is not how long someone has been subscribing to a channel. It will only check how long you have been contiguously subscribed to a channel. So if you disable your subscription for one month it will be reset.

121

I think that is by design, otherwise a data base would be needed to retain values. Unless I’m mistaken either sub days or months in a row are taken from the Twitch API.

Can someone please make a custom api which shows rocket league leaderboards in chat?

Can you make a magic conch shell version of your magic 8 ball? With quotes like “Maybe some day” “No” “Yes” “No~”

124

One already exists! Will have a post up describing it as soon as I lose my “new user” restrictions on the forum ^^

126

This would work for your problem:

As @Aaron128l stated, you can achieve this with the /random endpoint. Example:

https://api.rtainc.co/twitch/random?choices=Maybe+someday,Neither,I+don't+think+so,Try+asking+again,Yes

As far as I know, Spotify doesn’t expose any “Currently Playing” APIs. Last FM is, at the moment, our only option. Sorry.

Hi all, newby here.
Been searching this corner of the web some and are looking for a sound alert on a chat command.
I tend to forget to switch the stream to the active game window.
I am looking for a way to have a command, say !overlay, trigger a sound to alert me to switch off the overlay.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
