Twitch Balls aka Channel Points

Twitch_Balls.mkd

When a Channel Point reward requires text input from the viewer, this event is available over Chat. Tags are provided with each Message, and these will have a custom-reward-id field.

If a Channel Point reward does not require text input, I have no known method of capturing the event.

Assuming you're on Python/IRC and have something similar to

    # ####################################################################
    # When a message is sent to the channel
    def on_pubmsg(self, c, e):

        msg = e.arguments[0]
        tags = {}
        for t in e.tags:
            tags.update({t.get('key'): t.get('value')})

        balls = tags.get('custom-reward-id')
        if balls:
            self.on_balls(balls, msg, c, e)

We create a few variables to reference and pass. Here we detect the request and pass it to on_balls method...

Here is my on_balls method:

    def on_balls(self, balls, msg, c, e):
        print("Balls!")
        if balls in [
            'd6f36783-e794-4846-95fc-e61b52c83b34'
        ]:
            return tts(msg)

        if balls in [
            '91507c6d-59f6-45eb-8e8d-416951e4821a'
        ]:
            return self.play_clip(msg)

        if balls in [
            '6578a38b-8fc4-4298-90df-2d5ac7591022'
        ]:
            self.c.privmsg(self.channel, ".timeout %s 69" % (msg))
