Is there a way I can get the current Twitch Bit Price via the api? I want to build a currency converter as a little project.

If not. Does the Bit price ever change?

Nope

Basically it’s 1:1 1 bit is 1 cent for the streamer, viewers are charged a fee on top when they purchase the bits from Twitch.

Twitch _probably_ isn’t in the market of letting people work this out offsite really…

Actually this seems to be possible, as is triggered when clicking the “Get Bits” button above any twitch stream.

Albeit the endpoint being undocumented and therefore 100% unreliable.

```javascript
var clientID = "";

var myObj = [
  {
    operationName: "GetBitsButton_Bits",
    query: "query GetBitsButton_Bits() {\n bitsOffers {\n ...bitsOffersFragment\n __typename\n }\n}\n\nfragment bitsOffersFragment on BitsOffer {\n id\n type\n bits\n ... on BitsBundleOffer {\n price\n discount\n }\n__ typename\n}"
  }
];
$.ajax({
  url: "https://gql.twitch.tv/gql",
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Client-ID": clientID
  },
  data: JSON.stringify( myObj )
});

```

Returns

```json

    "data": {
      "bitsOffers": [

And doesn’t take in account VAT/Sales Tax additions…
