Hi folks! How can I get channel events in real-time (by subscribing them)  
I’ve found this endpoint [https://api.twitch.tv/v5/channels/{channel\_id}/events](https://api.twitch.tv/v5/channels/%7Bchannel_id%7D/events)  
but I’d like to use either webhooks or PubSub approach to get events in real time  
Thank you!

You are describe a undocmented endpoint.

You should _NOT_ be using this end point

It can change or break at any time.

What events are you looking for?

Events currently available via WebHooks are documented here:

[https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/webhooks-guide/](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/webhooks-guide/)

And those via PubSub here:

I’m trying to get channel events which I can find on pages like this

Checking that endpoint I see it is empty

There are no api end points or webhooks or anything officially supported for events that are created by a streamer on `twitch.tv/streamername/events`
