Hello! I’m creating a personal web and would like to add a section of my streams, so I thought it would be a good idea to use the twitch API to display the iframe of my stream when I’m online and display a message like “Not online” when I’m not. But I can’t find the right way to do this so I would really appreciate if someone could give me at least an idea how it could be done. Thanks!

1. On your backend/cron job generate an [App Access/Client Creds token](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/authentication/getting-tokens-oauth#oauth-client-credentials-flow)
2. Call [Get Streams](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference#get-streams)
3. Store the Result in a db/cache/something

or

1. Create an [EventSub handler/listener](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/eventsub)
2. On your backend/cron job generate an [App Access/Client Creds token](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/authentication/getting-tokens-oauth#oauth-client-credentials-flow)
3. Subscribe to [Stream Online/Offline](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/eventsub/eventsub-subscription-types#stream-subscriptions)
4. When your Stream State changes, Twitch will tell you via a HTTP Post Store the Result in a db/cache/something

THEN

Your Front End will use the valud from your db/cache/something to decide if to show the iFrame or a message instead.

This will also give you access to the Stream Title and Game

With EventSub you would use [channel.update](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/eventsub/eventsub-subscription-types#channelupdate), with Long Polling the API yoru Cron Job would grab it from it’s Get Streams Check
