So the tags mess up my current irc library and for now I don’t wanna make my own or find another - can I get the resub length by any other means? I can see the USERNOTICE with the resub’s message but there seems to be no date there? that kinda sucks ---

You could use the API to pull the subscription [created\_at] date time. [https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/:CHANNEL/subscriptions/:USER](https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/:CHANNEL/subscriptions/:USER) This requires an OAuth with permission from the streamer for the scope [channel\_subscriptions] Or the or from each user using the scope [user\_subscriptions] (probably not preferred for obvious reasons) Changes to payment methods and some gaps in renewal times reset this field, whereas the IRCv3 tags would continue the subscription uninterrupted. ---

Thanks for the info, but seems like for my needs I’ll have to figure out the tags some way or another ---

Mention the library/language you are using and someone here may have some more advice ---

> [@matt\_thomas](#): > > Mention the library/language you are using and someone here may have some more advice Probably not, the community is fairly small but I’m using [Nim](http://nim-lang.org/) with this library [GitHub - dom96/irc: Nim IRC module](https://github.com/nim-lang/irc) - I’ll probably fork it and just work on adding ircv3 or at least just tag parsing working, but thanks for the help anyway ---

You could also try to parse the irc message sent from twitchnotify and split its message e.g. “xy subscribed for 7 months in a row” - just take everything between for and months. That’s what I did back then, before reading the caps. Personally, I would still highly recommend to use those. ---

Seems like he just [implemented tags support into the library](https://github.com/nim-lang/irc/pull/8). 🙂 ---

yeah I worked out it was easier to just add it, the caps do make it a lot easier, thanks for the help anyway though guys ---
