Getting followers via API

[night]

I am writing a greasemonkey script and I need to fetch the current follower count from the api.

Twitch.api.get(“channels/target”).done(function(channel){ console.log(channel); });

When the above line is entered into console, it spits out an object that contains a lot of information, but not all of the information contained in the channel object, including the follower count.

Is this behavior intended?

You’re pulling the entire channel object, so you need to grab the followers from the output object.

Twitch.api.get("channels/:name").done(function(channel){ console.log(channel.followers); });
