Whats the recommend way to get the IPs of the websocket group chat servers (for whisper support)?

For normal servers I just use [irc.twitch.tv](http://irc.twitch.tv), but I couldn’t find any way to programatically get group chat IPs.

I found this post: [http://blog.bashtech.net/twitch-group-chat-irc/](http://blog.bashtech.net/twitch-group-chat-irc/) but the first method with  
[http://chatdepot.twitch.tv/room\_memberships?oauth\_token=blah](http://chatdepot.twitch.tv/room_memberships?oauth_token=blah) only responds with {“memberships”:[]} for me and the second one isn’t automatic.

There’s also [https://api.twitch.tv/api/channels/lirik/chat\_properties](https://api.twitch.tv/api/channels/lirik/chat_properties) but that seems like it only returns the servers for the normal chat not groupchat.

Currently I just use hardcoded ones but that doesn’t seem like a good idea.

[http://tmi.twitch.tv/servers?cluster=group](http://tmi.twitch.tv/servers?cluster=group) is another way.
