Here we are, downloading twitch clips, and embedding the clip (link) into discord. *Possibly* uploading the clips to Discord if we are able to resize them under 8mb to meet the Discord filesize limitations.

About The Project

Here we are, downloading twitch clips, and embedding into discord.

This system utilizes twitch, downloads the clips from a specified streamer on a timer.

This will, if configured properly, embed links to clip into your discord. Allowing you to have a whole new level of engagement. This is super important to get into your community.

This system has now been tested (November 15 2020) and is working.

It still uses some Kraken API, but it works, I will eventually move this entirely to Helix.

This is pretty straightforward, but if you need help setting it up, please contact me on Twitter: @livesimmy

I will do my best to help people configure this for their streams.
