Hello! I’ve already had experience using APIs from other services, but this is my first time using the Twitch API.

Therefore, before starting work, I wanted to ask a question. Did I understand correctly that my chatbot will be able to read messages from other broadcasts that do not belong to me?

I need this function to train my neural network. Sorry for my bad English, it’s not my native language. Thanks in advance for your answer!
