EventSubs for stream categories

API
1

I’m working on a discord bot that finds streams of the game I’m developing and shares them with our audience.

Right now, it seems like the only way to find streams is poll on a cron (once I have them, I bind to EventSubs to show the end of the stream).

Is there any way to subscribe to a category itself and check for when a new stream in that category has started in of using polling?

There is no eventsub topic for “streams going live in a category”

I doubt we’d get this since you can 100 streams at a time from https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference/#get-streams with a game_id filter.
