Webhook follower notification help

Is there any other method of getting the new follower notifications other than webhook ?

You could constantly poll the API and work our who is new.

@Thial

I have noticed that you have to specify a callback url in the subscription. Does it mean that followers can only be handled via EBS or a web server in the app ?

Correct.

Webhooks broadcast data from Twitch to a web accessible server you control.

Like PayPal payment notifications for example

@Thial

It seems quite redundant since many things can go wrong with setting up a web server on a personal PC and sending all notifications to the EBS could be quite bad along the normal EBS traffic.

You could middle man by sending to a SQS queue and then long polling your SQS queue instead.
