See examples for examples. If you want to run them locally, make sure you get the git submodules first.

use twitch_api::helix::HelixClient;
use twitch_api::twitch_oauth2::{AccessToken, UserToken};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync + 'static>> {
    // Create the HelixClient, which is used to make requests to the Twitch API
    let client: HelixClient<reqwest::Client> = HelixClient::default();
    // Create a UserToken, which is used to authenticate requests
    let token = UserToken::from_token(&client, AccessToken::from("mytoken")).await?;

    println!(
        "Channel: {:?}",
        client.get_channel_from_login("twitchdev", &token).await?
    );

    Ok(())
}

Notes

This crate was previously available as twitch_api2 and has since been renamed to twitch_api

Goals

This crate aims to target

• Helix
  • See implemented endpoints
• EventSub
  • See implemented eventsub Helix endpoints
• Extensions
  • No functionality implemented yet
• PubSub (without a client)
  • See implemented topics
  • PubSub is deprecated, replaced with EventSub websockets

There are no current plans to support

• GraphQL
• Drops (except what is in Helix)
• Twitch IRC Chat, use museun/twitch_message or robotty/twitch-irc
• Authentication, use twitch-rs/twitch_oauth2
• Undocumented Helix endpoints, i.e endpoints mobile Twitch app uses. Including working "hidden" endpoints
