Hello, I was playing around with an irc bot and I noticed that I wasn’t getting notices regarding new subs/prime subs/channel point rewards/etc… I’ve CAP’d for /comamnds and /tags. Below I have the commands I send when I first connect, The response from the server, and a sample of a stream I was watching. In the middle of these messages someone redeemed their channel points for reward which had a message printed in chat. EDIT: The odd thing is when I view the same chat in hexchat I can see lines where the notices would be as “GARBAGE: [tmi.twitch.tv](http://tmi.twitch.tv) USERNOTICE #cirno\_tv :cirCursed” ```auto self.irc.connect((server, port)) self.irc.send(bytes("CAP REQ :twitch.tv/membership\n", "UTF-8")) self.irc.send(bytes("CAP REQ :twitch.tv/commands\n", "UTF-8")) self.irc.send(bytes("CAP REQ :twitch.tv/tags\n", "UTF-8")) self.irc.send(bytes(f"PASS {botpass}\n", "UTF-8")) self.irc.send(bytes(f"NICK {botnick}\n", "UTF-8")) time.sleep(2) self.irc.send(bytes(f"JOIN {channel}\n", "UTF-8")) ``` ```auto $ python3 main.py Connecting to: irc.chat.twitch.tv :tmi.twitch.tv CAP * ACK :twitch.tv/membership :tmi.twitch.tv CAP * ACK :twitch.tv/commands :tmi.twitch.tv CAP * ACK :twitch.tv/tags :tmi.twitch.tv 001 waterflame321 :Welcome, GLHF! :tmi.twitch.tv 002 waterflame321 :Your host is tmi.twitch.tv :tmi.twitch.tv 003 waterflame321 :This server is rather new :tmi.twitch.tv 004 waterflame321 :- :tmi.twitch.tv 375 waterflame321 :- :tmi.twitch.tv 372 waterflame321 :You are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike. :tmi.twitch.tv 376 waterflame321 :> ``` ```auto ... @badge-info=subscriber/14;badges=moderator/1,subscriber/0;client-nonce=c359ff0ebc479fcc8403f88bccbfb916;color=#FF69B4;display-name=BZ _______ ;emotes=788469:80-91;first-msg=0;flags=;id=8fe69f2 6-626d-4da0-9706-fe8ca56f3fff;mod=1;room-id=39508026;subscriber=1;tmi-sent-ts=1631149588349;turbo=0;user-id=163452794;user-type=mod :bz _______!bz_______ @bz _______.tmi.twitch.tv PRIVMSG #swee tcheekstvr : @badge-info=subscriber/13;badges=subscriber/0,premium/1;color=#556DCD;display-name=DrSyrus;emotes=;first-msg=0;flags=;id=571e396b-f917-4cb6-998b-304879eaf230;mod=0;room-id=39508026;subscribe r=1;tmi-sent-ts=1631149592758;turbo=0;user-id=131520388;user-type= :drsyrus!drsyrus@drsyrus.tmi.twitch.tv PRIVMSG #sweetcheekstvr : @badge-info=subscriber/13;badges=subscriber/0,premium/1;color=#556DCD;display-name=DrSyrus;emotes=;first-msg=0;flags=;id=70af65a7-2b24-4d82-88c4-a30d3cea2a11;mod=0;room-id=39508026;subscribe r=1;tmi-sent-ts=1631149603754;turbo=0;user-id=131520388;user-type= :drsyrus!drsyrus@drsyrus.tmi.twitch.tv PRIVMSG #sweetcheekstvr : @badge-info=;badges=;client-nonce=ba3c80851521f25f7c15c6b8d163ba78;color=#FF00C7;display-name=NekoAsunya;emotes=;first-msg=0;flags=;id=f9238037-e330-4835-b950-fb864a6ecb0f;mod=0;room-id=3950 8026;subscriber=0;tmi-sent-ts=1631149605400;turbo=0;user-id=167002468;user-type= :nekoasunya!nekoasunya@nekoasunya.tmi.twitch.tv PRIVMSG #sweetcheekstvr : @badge-info=;badges=;client-nonce=d1476486820f107e3283e43432a7dd12;color=#FF0000;display-name=thescarlettdahlia;emotes=;first-msg=0;flags=;id=72ff2679-e631-4636-8b9e-47a960750958;mod=0;room-id=39508026;subscriber=0;tmi-sent-ts=1631149611897;turbo=0;user-id=679762757;user-type= :thescarlettdahlia!thescarlettdahlia@thescarlettdahlia.tmi.twitch.tv PRIVMSG #sweetcheekstvr : ... ``` ---

> [@waterflame](#): > > `self.irc.send(bytes(f"JOIN {channel}\n", "UTF-8"))` This seems to indicate you have no `#` at the start of the room. So you didn’t join a IRC room/channel. Since your Log output didn’t respond with a JOIN. So you tried to join a room that doesn’t exist Try `self.irc.send(bytes(f"JOIN #{channel}\n", "UTF-8"))` Additionally make sure the `channel` is ALL lowercase (ie the channels `username` NOT their `display name`) ---

Alas I wish it was that simple of a fix. But in the config file I have the #. ```python ## IRC Config server = "irc.chat.twitch.tv" port = 6667 channel = "#sweetcheekstvr" botnick = "" botpass = "" ``` ---

> [@JJ\_The\_Bunny](#): > > Channel point redemption does not come thru IRC They do if the redeemer is invited to leave a message. Which is what I assumed OP was referring to. (Highlight message/leave message in sub only mode/custom reward asking user to leave a message aka prompt) ---

Ah, right. Sorry, I wasn’t precise. ---

> [@waterflame](#): > > Alas I wish it was that simple of a fix. But in the config file I have the #. I’m out of ideas/can’t see anything obviously wrong here. Unless your parser doesn’t understand USERNOTICE but yoiu appear to be RAW logging everything. USERNOTICE is gonna be for subs PRIVMSG with a reward-id tag (I forget the specific name of the tag) for rewards that trigger a chat message. ---

Ah okay… I’m looking for just the redeem. I was hoping to be able to do this without having to gather oauth tokens for pubsub. ![image](https://d2opxh93rbxzdn.cloudfront.net/original/2X/3/3b87b82dba12a88d628b98b44a0a0fa3263bb948.png) ---

Why doesn’t the below trigger in IRC? Obviously twitch has some form of endpoint for it to display in chat. Is it supported in the websocket version of chat? ---

You’ll need pubsub or eventsub for that. Redeems that don’t let a user/redeember enter text are not sent to chat. > [@waterflame](#): > > Obviously twitch has some form of endpoint for it to display in chat.

> [@waterflame](#): > > So then how do I the user who doesn’t have a auth token for streamA see pubsub events I can’t subscribe to?(BadAuth) You will need authorisation from the streamer. And thus use the streamers token with the relevant scopes applied. ---
