twitch-chat-bot

A hackety chat bot I wrote for my twitch stream. I wanted to learn asyncio and this felt like a decent project to dive in on.

setup

Set up a configuration file
```
{
  "username": "...",
  "channel": "...",
  "oauth_token": "...",
  "client_id": "..."
}
```
- username: the username of the bot account
- channel: the irc channel to connect to, for twitch this is the same as the streamer's channel name
- oauth_token: follow the directions here to get a token
- client_id: set up an application for your chat bot here
