Track new bit cheering event - With C# (Unity)

Question 1:
From what I found out, I am supposed to use the API.Helix methods, but I am unsure which is the correct method to track NEW occuring events. I only see leaderboards and such.

Live bits events are provided either

• via chat - Twitch IRC Tags | Twitch Developers bits tag of a PRIVMSG
• via pubsub - PubSub | Twitch Developers - bits (v2)
• via eventsub - EventSub Subscription Types | Twitch Developers

GetChattersAsync I cannot make anything else work.

Here is the working example:

Invoke step:
api.Invoke(api.Undocumented.GetChattersAsync(ourTwitchClient.client.JoinedChannels[0].Channel), GetChatterListCallback);

Well it’s undocumented so it doesn’t need speicific headers and can change or break at any time.

Helix (and kraken/old API) don’t provide a bits/events endpoints, it’s all Chat/PubSub and now EventSub.

@BoxMan

I saw mostly posts talking about sending a request to an URL via http and add information in headers.

This depends on the HTTP library you are using.
It should provide documentation on how to add headers or tell it you are using oAuth.

You’ll also need to setup a simple webpage or callback system to obtain a suitably scoped oAuth access token for your account in order to read the bits data

So basically, as summary again, I want to react on a new bits cheer event inside my Unity project.

Thank you very much for your help in advance! I am posting this, because I really am stuck for days now on this.

Pick which one of the three methods you want to use and work out from there. For Unity you probably want Chat or PubSub since you are not on a web accessable server and eventsub doesn’t have a socket transport yet
