Not all points redemptions are sent over IRC as chat only those that have a chat message component as part of the purchase do.
Additionally various messages in chat are sent via PubSub and IRC and collated together in the chat feed
Pretty standard regardless of what platform you are working on.
- Create an App,
- Authenticate that apps access to your account
- Go wild with the Access Token
Only Redemptions that raise a chat message are sent via IRC.
So “Highlight a message”/“send a message in sub only mode” will go out over IRC but not via the PubSub Topic.
Hopefully Twitch will give us a singular feed at some point but currently the Channel Points topic, is just for “A custom reward is redeemed in a channel.”, or at least access to all the redemptions that occur
So right now we get nothing at all when someone redeems an emote or emote modification.
