Hi,

I’m sure some of you are familiar with the [Twitter streaming API](https://dev.twitter.com/streaming/overview). It would be great to have something like this for Twitch. Instead of hammering the REST API to get information like new Followers / Subscribers etc. It would be way more convenient and accurate if we were able to simply connect to a streaming endpoint and act on the information as it’s updated.

I know that this is a rather large undertaking, but I (and I’m sure a lot of other developers) would greatly appreciate it.
