Thanks for the advice.
My bad on the URL, I grabbed that from the part of my code that allows users to change titles and games. For actually getting viewers of a stream, I’m using: https://tmi.twitch.tv/group/user/channel/chatters.
Obviously, as you say, that involves dealing with a lot of JSON data in some cases, so it makes sense the system resources is high. I suppose I’ve never noticed that on other bots.
