Like this.

In other words, you make a GET request to the Server sending your Client-ID from your registered application (here) , and you’ll receive a response structured like this:

If stream’s offline:

{
   "stream":null
}

Otherwise:

{
   "stream": {
     ...
      },
      "channel": {
        ...
      }
   }
}

You should check Twitch API docs for more.

If you want to know how to do this specifically in Java, you should learn how to make requests to a generic Server in Java first.

in short? Either find a library that already exists or research the HttpsURLConnection Java class. That may be used to connect to remote servers (as mentioned above). You will need to also look at a JSON class, I like org.JSON myself.

There are many other classes and APIs available, this is just an example of two that you can research.
