I’m trying to fetch the viewerlist with JavaScript by using:  
`fetch('https://tmi.twitch.tv/group/user/strencher_/chatters').then(console.log)`  
but i ran into an error:

You can’t do this call in client side javascript due to the CORS restriction.

Use server side.

Server side Javascript is normally NodeJS.
