This is just a sample project for creating an Amazon Alexa skill for asking whether your favourite Twitch streamer is currently live. Feel free to add more functionality to this skill if you want to. This skill was created for hosting on Amazon Lambda. You can find more information on how to deploy an Alexa skill on Amazon Lamda here.
You need to provide three piece of information in order to run this skill:
- A client id obtained from twich (see here)
- The channel id of channel you want to retrieve live status of
- Application id of Alexa skill
You can obtain the channel id by the following command:
curl -H 'Accept: application/vnd.twitchtv.v5+json' -H 'Client-ID: _your_client_id_' -X GET https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/users?login=_streamer_name_
