I’m developing a python game in which viewers can interact via cutom rewards. The problem is, I can’t get the rewards back. I created a token with ‘channel: read: redemptions’ rights. Here is my code: > import websockets > import json > import asyncio > import random > > url = “wss://pubsub-edge.twitch.tv” > loop = asyncio.get\_event\_loop() > connection = websockets.connect(url, ping\_interval=100) > > client\_id = ‘MYCLIENTID’ > channel\_id = ‘MYUSERID’ > access\_token = ‘MYTOKEN’ > > async def stay(): > async with connection as socket: > while (): > ping = json.dumps({ > “type”: “PING”}) > > ``` > await socket.send(ping) > res = await socket.recv() > print(res) > await asyncio.sleep(100 + random.randrange(1, 50)) > > ``` > > async def listen(): > async with connection as socket: > data = json.dumps({ > “type”: “LISTEN”, > “data”: { > “topics”: [“channel-points-channel-v1.” + channel\_id], > “auth\_token”: access\_token, > } > > ``` > }) > await socket.send(data) > resp = await socket.recv() > > dec_resp = json.loads(resp) > > print(dec_resp) > > # while(loop.is_running): > > async for msg in socket: > pass > > ``` > > loop.create\_task(stay()) > > loop.run\_until\_complete(listen()) i don’t understand what is wrong ! Could you help me ? ---

Your Post suggests you are trying to read what points rewards exist. But your code suggests you are trying to retrieve redemptions (aka Purchases or usage) as they happen instead? So what are you actually trying to do? ---

What i want : When a viewer uses channel point to buy a reward, i need to get the information about wich reward it is to create a special event in my game. Sorry for my english i’m french 😝 ---

EventSub will let you monitor redemptions created for the rewards created by the same client ID > **[EventSub Subscription Types](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/eventsub/eventsub-subscription-types/)** > > Subscription Types PubSub, will return for all redemptions for “custom” rewards, this will not include emote modifications, highlight my message etc > **[PubSub](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/pubsub/)** > > PubSub Guide ---

OK but it doesn’t work with websockets. So I have to set up a webhook server to retrieve the data and then process it. I don’t have the knowledge to do this. Are there any preconfigured solutions to do this with aws or something ? ---

Could you tell me what to change on my current code ? ---

My solution is in nodeJS as I’m not very python fluent Is your code returning any errors? Collecting any response at all. Did you get a response to your Listen request? If so did it return an error? ---

It’s ok! If you need the working code : ``` url = "wss://pubsub-edge.twitch.tv" loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() connection = websockets.connect(url, ping_interval=100) client_id = 'myclientid' channel_id = 'myuserid' access_token = 'mytokent ' async def stay(): async with connection as socket: while (): ping = json.dumps({ "type": "PING"}) await socket.send(ping) res = await socket.recv() print(res) await asyncio.sleep(100 + random.randrange(1, 50)) async def listen(): async with connection as socket: data = json.dumps({ "type": "LISTEN", "data": { "topics": ["channel.channel_points_custom_reward_redemption.add" + channel_id], "auth_token": access_token, } }) await socket.send(data) resp = await socket.recv() dec_resp = json.loads(resp) print(dec_resp) # while(loop.is_running): async for msg in socket: print(msg) pass loop.create_task(stay()) loop.run_until_complete(listen()) ``` ---
