PubSub Topics with Channel ID's

For the implementation I have used the python twitchAPI package.

You would be best joining the libraries Discord server and asking in the relevant room for your library you are using:

I managed to connect authenticate my Application, and subscribe to the Subscribe and Cheer Events (Received an UUID). But however, I don’t receive any messages, when someone subscribes or cheers on that channel.

Sounds like you are lisenting to the wrong channel.

• Developer you
• ClientID foo
• Want events from streamer bob

You need to ask streamer bob to authenticate with the relevant scopes.
To grant access/permission for foo to read bobs data
Then you can create subscriptsion as you for bobs information

So it sounds like you didn’t ask bob for permission and listening to you instead

This sounds like you are using EventSub, as pubsub doesn’t send back a UUID on LISTEN (sends an empty error message). So is your EventSub handler publically accessable? Are the subscriptions active?

@dermandix

that I need an “user ID” for the whisper topic, where as I need an “channel ID” for the subscribe/cheer topics, but after hours of research I couldn’t find anything, that tells me the difference between these ID’s,

They are the “same” a different “label” is used to help identify relationships between different ID’s that are involved in a message.

Like a gift sub will have 3 IDs

• broadcaster_id - channel the sub is gifted on
• recipient_user_id - the user that recieved the gift
• gifter_user_id - the user that was sent the gift
