Host information

[Lilrex]

so since you dont use broadcaster login chat, are you using PubSub to trigger all your events?

[BarryCarlyon]

There is no host information on pubsub.

But for all other events I use a mix of IRC and PubSub and APICalls

thanks Barry

Is it possible in Helix to lookup a stream by the username or someone or do i have to have their ID number?

this is how i am currently trying to do it.

twitchHelper.callTwitchAPI(’/streams?user_login=’ + hostername, function (response)

i am wanting to get the viewer count of the channel so i can display the number of viewers coming from the host.

so can i do it by username or do i have to take the name and lookup the id so i can look up the stream?

Please refer to the documentation

Reference

Yes you can specify a username or a userID consider also that a host does not neccasailty come from a stream that is live or still currently live
