The End of Twitch PubSub

Finally Twitch EventSub is at feature parity with third party supported/documented PubSub, that the end of PubSub has been announced. In a forum post over on Twitch Developers it has been announced the schedule for the shutdown of Twitch PubSub for access by third party developers. The final death date is April 14th 2025. Which I guess means it’s time for me to complete my own migration from…

The Twitch Extensions Developer Rig is Dead

Or is it? Preamble Twitch decided to deprecate the Extension Developer Rig, which is fine, just about everything that the rig could do is avialable via the API now. You can read about the Deprecation on the Developer Forums. The final thing that was API enabled was bits product management, which for a while was rig only, but is now available in the API and more recently in the developer…

Twitch Extension Developer Tools

It's been out for a while, but forgot to write a blog post about it

Around the time that Kraken was dying, I was doing something (I forget what, probably bits products), and found that the Twitch Developer Rig was totally hosed, since it was calling Kraken and hadn’t been patched. (It since has been but still being a little weird with some stuff with some of my Extensions, but I digress). So I was like “screw it I’ll build my own tool with Blackjack and…

Twitch to Discord Notifications

This post is about a thing I built that has been public for a while, but I never wrote up a blog post about it. A common question that comes up in various places, is “How do I notify my Discord that my Twitch Stream went live”, so since I had some time and wanted to build a demo project that shows people how do to that, since it’s a common thing, it’s easier to point people to an example. I…

Twitch Extensions: Part 3 – The Architecture of an Extension

How does Twitch's new Eventsub work?

How does Twitch’s new Eventsub work?

Preamble In the beginning, Twitch created Webhooks. And the world rejoiced, finally we no longer have to long poll for things such as followers! Hurrah! But it came with a gotcha, since Twitch Webhooks is based on the Websub specification, each and every Webhook you wanted to listen to had to be renewed, now this is limited to 10 days (max) or the time remainging on the Token you authenticate…

Twitch API Examples

I spend a lot of time on the Twitch Developer forums and Discord helping out other third party developers. That among other things led to me being asked to become a Twitch Ambassador, which is probably a story for another post.

As part of spending a lot of time helping of Forums/Discord, it become useful to write up some examples in various languages for people to refer to, since some people…

What is ArtificialNext?

Artificial (Next) is a show on Twitch, it’s currently in it’s third Season!

Season three is very interesting as due to COVID, as it is all being done remotely, the Actors all stay at their respective homes, and dial in to the central “office” to be “included” in the show. And in in cases, the show runner has not met the new actors/actress for this season!

The premise of the show, is that Dr. Matt…

The Future and all things change?!

Long time no write.

Hopefully gonna start writing again, (not the first time I’ve said that, so we’ll see how we go!)

I am currently deciding what to do next!

If you know whom I used to work for you can go look it up…
