How to get real-time notification for channel hosts?

API
1

Hi,

I want my code to be notified when someone hosts a specific channel. Does someone know how to do that?

There is no websocket for that in PubSub https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/pubsub/#subscribing-to-topics

and no webhook on that topic https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/webhooks-reference/

The only way I see is to connect to the chat with the broadcaster account. Isn’t there any other way? How does streamlabs do it?

Thanks

Ok nevermind I found this similar question here Hosted notification

TLDR:

There are no official end points

There are a couple of unofficially bits

And the main way it’s currently done is to login to chat as the broadcaster, and read the relevant (user)notice over IRC

Edit: which is a log easier now we have a chat read only scope to play with…
