Introducing the Channel Points redemption PubSub topic

[BarryCarlyon]

The PubSub topic described in this thread and topics, is intended for use on any channel you obtain a scoped oAuth key for:

@jbulava

A new OAuth scope is being added to read custom redemptions: channel:read:redemptions . When using the new PubSub topic, please make sure to use this scope.

So

@tduva

So it would be great if it would be possible to either listen to other channels as well (although that may not fit your intended access model) or at least a way to translate custom reward ids into a reward name.

You’ll need a relevant Access Key from the channel owner.

The redemptions that raise a message in chat do broadcast in the clear/publically over TMI (Twitch Messaging Interface) because they raise a PRIVMSG with the data and chat message attached. (Basically the same as a (re)sub notification in chat, not all resubs appear only those that are actually shared for example).

Not all custom redemptions (or built in ones) will raise a message over TMI. So the PubSub topic covers custom redemptions currently.
