I’m working on an alert system for a channel I’m a moderator for. But I couldn’t find any separator for prime and regular subscriptions in incoming subscriptions. According to my research the API does not give this directly. How do sites like Streamlabs and moobot achieve this? Are they separating via chatbot?

Unless you collect the data in real time from chat or pubsub, then you are out of luck
