Power-up events

[fadju]

Twitch has introduced new features for e.g. highlighting messages by using bits. I didn’t find anything about this on Twitch Api documentation, so I guess I can’t get any API event about power-ups. In messages Tags-object I can find animation-id which tells, that power-up was used for highlighting message, but there is no information about bit amount like hypechat-message tag had. Twitch - could you please include the bit amount to tags-object, or add an API event for that.
Any hints?

I didn’t find anything about this on Twitch Api documentation,

Refer to the change log Changelog | Twitch Developers

This information has been added to various eventsub topics.

Channels/broadcasters set the price, users don’t, unless hypechat.

So conceptually the streamer already know what the viewer paid when the event occurs.

Power Up Pricing

Yes, I’ve seen the changelog. And I know, that the broadcaster sets the price of power-ups, but I still need to get the price somehow - without requiring the broadcaster to enter all the prices to my app. Also, I don’t know how to get any event about On-screen celebration. Message effects and emote gigantifies can be picked up from chat messages.
Oh, there is already a UserVoice item about this topic. I didn’t check that. Thanks.

At the moment this isn’t possible. Hence I linked the uservoice requesting this data.

But this is for channel points - not for power-up by bits?

[BarryCarlyon]

It does powerups as well as per the documentation

basically it’s an automatic reward for 0 channel points that is triggered in response to a bits usage

And all three are obtained by viewers from the channel point shop UI

Great - it works! I didn’t have “channel.channel_points_automatic_reward_redemption.add” event subscribed, just “channel.channel_points_custom_reward_redemption.add” and update. So, now I get all those power-up events nicely. Only the bit amount used is missing, but I can live with it until Twitch deliver it somehow.

Thank you so much!
