How to subscribe to events with Twitch CLI EventSub websocket server

I’ll try and come up with a way to manually inject the messages into my app, but some are hard to understand from the docs, eg. whether there is a way to determine who gifted a sub. So when somebody gifts 100 subs, the app doesn’t spam 100 sub notifications after. Or collects them into a single notification.

there are a couple of uservoice open on this one to improve EventSub for Overlay builders for things like this

I guess the CLI can at least produce valid JSON responses I can try to work with.

The idea is the EventSub sends the same data layout regardless of the transport used.

So you can run tests via “webhook” eventsub if needed and then swap the logic to a websocket.

Or have a server, webhook into the server and the server forwards to a socket. and instead of connecting directly to Twitch you connect to your server as a proxy.
