Sending text to twitch chat

API
5

You started working thru the example that runs on the website glitch.

  1. Visit https://glitch.com/~twitch-chatbot
  2. Hit “Remix your own” on the chatbot example
  3. Edit .env
  4. This particular example, is also (re)starting on code changes so, yeah no run button. (Hit Logs to see errors)

I don’t use glitch so this is new to me also.

To do what you need to do you need to have either,

  1. created an always on chat bot that can receive and relay a message from your overlay
  2. add IRC/TMI code to your overlay to connect to and send to chat on demand.

The IRC documentation covers how to connect and send to Twitch Chat. It doesn’t exactly tell you to exactly do what you want to describe. I can tell you it is possible to do as my overlays do it. But I can’t just give you the answer as my solution is proprietary to the channel and a little complicated due to other infrastructural components
