I want to integrate a list of widgets to my twitch channel. I know there are 3rd Party plug-ins out there LIKE Teeboard, Nightdev ect ect, but I want to advance my coding knowledge over the holidays and thought it would be fun to create one.
The problem is i have no idea as to where to start or what to look at to help me. I really want to learn a bit more into the back end of these API’s and actually last summer managed to create my own twitch chat bot
Would love a bit more guidance and a load of tutorials or list of helpful info
An API is a “application program interface”, which according to WIkipedia is “is a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software applications.” - i.e. just a bunch of functions you can use to interact with another program. What you’re thinking is certainly not an API, but just a plugin? You will have to decide on a browser to use (I suggest chrome, because. yeah.) and then look up the documentation regarding these plugin APIs they expose (see https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted for the chrome tutorial or see Tampermonkey (Greasemonkey in Mozilla Firefox), which allows you to easily add javascript to websites).
