Ingame Live Tag

API
1

Hey,

I’m planning to develop an in-game streamer live tag. My goal is when a streamer opens a live broadcast, a tag system will allow other players in the game to understand that the broadcaster is live at that moment. E.g; “Live - Nickname” in the form of a nickname.

Of course, for this feature, the broadcaster needs to connect/link the Twitch.tv account within the game.

  1. Which APIs exactly do I need to use for this?
  2. Is there a need to require permission from Twitch.tv team for copyrights and brand usage?

Could you please help me with the two questions?

Thank you!

oAuth, for logging the user/getting a user token/IDing the user

Get Streams, for getting if a given userID is live

Alternatively, if names are fed from a server

EventSub stream online/offline so your server knows when a given stream is live and can push name changes/live tag changes to clients. (will also need oAuth)
