What ways are there to get subscription status from an extension?

How should I deal with rate limits? Let’s say that I want to authenticate 3000 users for the same channel while Helix allows for 800 requests per minute.

For an extension since the JWT has the current status, you can use that.

And only EBS check when the user performs an action, such as submitting data or triggering something that would be sent to the streamer

If I am understanding correctly, per user means per broadcasters token which I also pass into Authorization header to get the 800/min.

All Helix endpoints require a bearer so the 30 limit no longer exists

@oban_internet

per broadcasters token

As you are an extension you can use an App Access Token/Server to Server token, so you don’t have to juggle multiple access keys, and you don’t have to get additional authentication from the broadcaster. Just generate and use an App Access Token for your extension

I was thinking about creating some sort of queue and instead of checking each ID individually, I would check 100 users let’s say each second and respond appropriately but I am clueless as to which npm package would be most appropriate for this task.

The rate is very burstable and forgiving you might find you don’t get close to the limit, depending on when/what/how you need to do the EBS check, a queue might work it might not.
