twitch-viewer
A viewer bot for twitch.tv
Why
This application was created in order to provide a little help to the beginner streamers. Having 0 viewers for months is very upsetting so why not give yourself several viewers?
The application was tested and developed to be used with a small amount of viewers, for which it has a very low CPU usage. Even though it can be used to get much more viewers, it was not intended to do so by the developers.
How
The application was developed with Python 2.7.10 using the following libraries (installed using pip):
- requests
- json
- livestreamer
In order to run it, you need two things:
- A twitch channel, which name you pass as an argument to this script. For example, if the URL to your page is
twitch.tv/myname, you should pass justmyname - A text file with the name
proxylist.txtin the script's folder. Each line of which should have the following structure:ip:port.
The "viewers" you get only work through proxy.
The amount of viewers you get equals to the amount of proxies there is in the proxylist.txt file.
The application starts working within ~10 seconds, and you will get viewers within a couple minutes (it takes some time for twitch to process the connections).
Errors
Timeout error for IP- your request was timed out. If it happens multiple time for the same proxy, consider replacing itConnection error for IP- this is harmless, proxy servers sometimes refuse connections. This may occur frequently. Nothing to worry about.
