So, I’m about to write a small chatbot written in python, so far, I can get the my user ID, create a subscription to **/helix/channels** and I get a 202. I have a flask server running to handle the callback, I see the **hub.challenge** and return this (as 200 status). Example code to subscribe to event the client side: > def subscribe\_to\_twitch\_event(): > headers = {‘Authorization’: ‘Bearer {0}’.format(get\_twitch\_api\_token()[‘access\_token’]) > param\_data = { > ‘hub.mode’: ‘subscribe’, > #‘hub.topic’: ‘[https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users/follows?first=1&to\_id={0}'.format('XXXXX](https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users/follows?first=1&to_id=%7B0%7D'.format('XXXXX)’), > ‘hub.topic’: ‘[https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user\_id={0}'.format('XXXXX](https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user_id=%7B0%7D'.format('XXXXX)’), > ‘hub.callback’: ‘[http://my-endpoint-server.net/1.0/foobar/twitch/callback](http://my-endpoint-server.net/1.0/foobar/twitch/callback)’, > ‘hub.lease\_seconds’: ‘90’, > ‘hub.secret’: ‘SECRET SHHH’, > } > response = requests.post(“[https://api.twitch.tv/helix/webhooks/hub](https://api.twitch.tv/helix/webhooks/hub)”, params=param\_data, headers=headers, verify=True) > def get\_twitch\_subscriptions(): > headers = {‘Authorization’: ‘Bearer {0}’.format(get\_twitch\_api\_token()[‘access\_token’])} > > ``` > response = requests.get("https://api.twitch.tv/helix/webhooks/subscriptions", headers=headers, verify=True) > print response.json() > > ``` I see: From the initial subscription: \ From the check of subscription: {u’pagination’: {}, u’total’: 1, u’data’: [{u’topic’: u’[https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user\_id=XXXXX](https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user_id=XXXXX)’, u’callback’: u’[http://my-endpoint-server.net/1.0/foobar/twitch/callback](http://my-endpoint-server.net/1.0/foobar/twitch/callback)’, u’expires\_at’: u’2018-10-24T07:27:03Z’}]} Looks good On the Callback side twitch is sending: 34.217.244.123 - - [24/Oct/2018 03:25:50] “GET /1.0/foobar/twitch/callback?hub.challenge=-MVIY\_JIdhwLhG4icinviIMWz8gsG3pRogqIDmjg&hub.lease\_seconds=90&hub.mode=subscribe&hub.topic=https%3A%2F%[2Fapi.twitch.tv](http://2Fapi.twitch.tv)%2Fhelix%2Fstreams%3Fuser\_id%3DXXXXXXXX HTTP/1.1” 200 - In the GET for **/1.0/foobar/twitch/callback** I return the hub.challenge value the API returns 200 for http status. When I go online, change title of stream with Streamlabs OBS, I am not getting callbacks to the POST for **/1.0/foobar/twitch/callback**. Doesn’t seem to be telling me there’s a response coming back. > @app.route(‘/1.0/foobar/twitch/callback’, methods=[‘GET’, ‘POST’]) > def \_twitch\_callback(): > if request.method == ‘GET’: > challenge = request.args.get(‘hub.challenge’) > print(“Challenge is: {0}”.format(challenge)) > return challenge > else: > print(“GOT A POST CALL!!!”) Whats wrong? I also don’t see any API method to let me change the stream channel title, or any way to get the stream/channel ID to change the title with the Helix API or this isn’t implemented yet? Thanks, Shawn. ---

Your hook is expiring before you go live/change your title. You ca set a maximum of 10 days. Try setting it to something longer than 90 seconds. ---

I’ll try a longer lease, but the code looks right to you? I’ll have to use the v5 API then for things not implemented though, I wonder if the deadline for December might be pushed further back. ---

Theres no longer an official end date for v5. > [@spstarr](#): > > I’ll try a longer lease, but the code looks right to you? Yup, as your Challenge is working for you so should be all good for receiving notifications. ---
