Is it acceptable to consume the irc-ws endpoint?

I understand in the twitch API documentation it says that for making twitch chat bots we should consume irc.chat.twitch.tv - However I’m interested in developing an application that utilizes individual users auth and removing the need for my own backend.

My question is, Is it okay to consume the irc-ws.chat.twitch.tv endpoint on our own? It seems accessible using the same IRC protocol and gives me the ability to act in a javascript frontend which could be very useful.

Thanks! :slight_smile:

Nevermind, It seems I didn’t read the documentation well enough… It appears both the ws and irc endpoints are acceptable. Sorry to bother!
