Command List API

Accumulates a list of all chat commands available in twitch channels. Updates commands by using chat bot APIs.

Architecture

• updating decides when to call the chat bot apis. Then it fetches the data and saves it to redis.

• serve reads the values out of redis and serves it to the user.

• prelude is helper functions.

Running

Docker

• Create an .env file with your twitch app tokens:

  TWITCH_CLIENT_ID=abcdefg123456
  TWITCH_CLIENT_SECRET=hijklmnop7890
  

• Run docker compose build to build.
• Run docker compose up to run.

Tip: Use docker compose run redis redis-cli -h redis monitor to monitor all redis changes and docker compose run redis redis-cli -h redis to clear all redis data.

Manual

• Run redis-server (see redis.io) in a terminal.
• Set (in a different terminal) the env variables TWITCH_CLIENT_ID and TWITCH_CLIENT_SECRET to the according values see. You can use something like dotenv or a start script which sets the variables if you like.
• Run go build && ./self to build and run the application.

Tip: Use redis-cli monitor to monitor all redis changes and redis-cli FLUSHALL to clear all redis data.
