In order to be able to run the bot add a file AutoHostConfig.py in the same folder as the bot and go through the steps below: AutoHostConfig.py should look something like this:

Host = "irc.twitch.tv"                                                 # The Twitch IRC server
Port = 6667                                                            # Always use port 6667!
Nickname = "<Nickname>"                                                # The username of your bot
Token = "<Token>"                                                      # Your Twitch subscriber token (needs to have the editor scope)
Channel = "#<Channel>"                                                 # The channel you want to join
ClientID = "<Client ID>"                                               # The client ID of your bot
StreamLinkLocation = "C:\Program/Files\Streamlink\\bin\streamlink.exe" # The location of your streamlink install
VLCLocation = "C:\Program/Files\VLC\\vlc.exe"                          # The location of your VLC install
webhook_url = "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/123456"                # The url too your discord webhook

  • Agree to the terms and conditions
  • Get a Client_ID and a Client_Secret
• Generate your token for accessing follower data and chat
  • Go to Get token here and click connect with twitch
  • Click Authorize
