twitchlogger

twitchlogger

Lightweight and minimal Twitch chat logger. It is able to log every live chat on twitch (at once) with very low CPU and memory usage.

Commands

There are 2 commands, twitch-log and twitch-channels:

• twitch-channels is for fetching all live channels from the Twitch API, it outputs CSV data (user_id,channel_name,viewers). Check the usage with twitch-channels -h
• twitch-log is for logging the chats. The input must be a stream with every channel name separated by a newline. It outputs IRC messages.

You can connect twitch-channels and twitch-log by piping twitch-channels to awk, as in the examples below.

Installation

Download the executables from this repo's Releases page and put them in your $PATH

OR

go get -u github.com/mlvzk/twitchlogger/...

Examples

Pipe twitch-channels to awk to only get the channel's name and pipe it then to twitch-log:

twitch-channels \
| awk -F, '{ print $2 }' \
| twitch-log

Log only one channel:

twitch-log <<<"moonmoon_ow"

Fetch only english(locale id en) streams with no less than 50 viewers, and loop it to also fetch future streams:

twitch-channels -language en -min 50 -loop

Fetch, transform, log, filter to only PRIVMSG messages and beautify the output:

twitch-channels -language en -min 20 -loop \
| awk -F, '{ print $2 }' \
| twitch-log \
| awk 'match($0, /:(\w+)!.*PRIVMSG #(\w+) :(.*)/, m) { print strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")" \033[34m"m[1]"\033[0m to \033[35m#"m[2]"\033[0m: "m[3] }' # only gnu version of awk, gawk
