The function of getting the period of a user's following

Hello everyone, I’m developing a chatbot on Python, and I want to know how I can get data about the period of a user’s following to my channel? I am planning to make a special command for this function. Thanks a lot in advance and sorry for my English!

The follows API is documented here

Thank you! But how to use these urls in python script?

BarryCarlyon · January 29, 2021, 1:22pm

Pick a python library to do the HTTP requests

Plug the URL and data formats into the library as needed by that libraries docs

???

Profit

I believe most people use requests

I have some sample code (that calls the streams endpoint) here

github.com

BarryCarlyon/twitch_misc/blob/master/authentication/app_access_tokens/python/generate.py#L26



print(keys)

headers = {
    'Client-ID': client_id,
    'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + keys['access_token']
}

print(headers)

stream = requests.get('https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user_login=' + streamer_name, headers=headers)

stream_data = stream.json();

print(stream_data);

Thank you again! I seem to have figured it out, but what is ‘client_secret’?

It’s obtained from the dev console
