Continuing the discussion from Subscriber api Question : Kinsi, did you ever get a solid solution to this? I also need a reliable way to detect every subscription re-up, and would rather not hack around Twitch to get it.

Just noticed you did a follow up thread here: [image] Without relying on the chat notification, what would be the best way to go about polling subs? API The title basically says it all. What would the best way to pretty much “duplicate” the subscription list into a own da…

Parse chat for TwitchNotify is the generally used method.

Which is unreliable if the user doesn’t click the button, or if your bot misses the message. I just found another thread, this time where a bunch of people are asking for this very feature to be added to the API: Re-payment notification for subs

The user has to click the button though to fire the event because otherwise when would Twitch send an event? Another service (not mentioning names, not sure if that is allowed or not in these forums) can send an auto-renew list, which I believe they say runs at midnight (forgot which time zone), an…

Twitch shouldn’t have to send the event at all. I want to request the date of last renewal from the API. Then I can easily detect when the date has changed, and react appropriately.

To be clear, I understand that being pushed updates via IRC or a websocket is convenient for certain types of apps, but for my case, it is too risky. I need reliability way more than I need convenience. With the Twitch API, I will get an error when a request for new data fails, and I can log the err…

Ah, so you need more than to just let folks know someone re-subscribed, you are trying to track people for whatever reason. beyond just subscriber counts and information for instant reporting purposes. I get ya.

The alternative to parsing chat is mathing the number of months from the created_at in the sub API. Which should suffice for non real time notify. Of course the API doesn’t contain the number of months according to Twitch’s Math.
