viewers

Lists who is currently watching a given stream on Twitch

Installation

npm i -s viewers

Usage

Here is an example from test.js:

const viewers = require('viewers')
 
async function logViewers(channelName) {
    console.log(await viewers(channelName))
}
 
// A popular 24/7 stream
logViewers('twitchplayspokemon')

It should output something similar to the following:

[
    { type: 'vip', name: 'tppsimulator' },
    { type: 'mod', name: 'honshoureimu' },
    { type: 'mod', name: 'red031000' },
    { type: 'mod', name: 'rjri' },
    { type: 'mod', name: 'sinr2014' },
    { type: 'mod', name: 'tpp' },
    { type: 'viewer', name: '1in256miss' },
    { type: 'viewer', name: '20superkoopatroopa02' },
    { type: 'viewer', name: '4td0' },
    ...
]
